CONNECTING THE DOTS is a culmination
and manifestation of the many gifts
of one man. Rich Medina is an accomplished
Producer, DJ, Poet, and Personality
on the underground music scene, worldwide.
Connecting the dots between Hip Hop,
Jazz, House, Spoken Word, Afro Beat
and Bass Heavy Future Soul, "Big
Rich" is ready to deliver one of
the most comprehensive progressive soul
albums of our generation.
Although he’s garnered world-wide
acclaim through his trademark DJ stylings,
as a producer, he is soul music’s
best-kept secret, remaining under the
radar while developing both his compositional
techniques and artist relationships.
You may have heard the now-popular PPP
(Platinum Pied Pipers) remix, his production
on the seminal “Who Is Jill Scott?”
album, his deep baritone guiding you
through King Britt's "Adventures
in Lo-fi", or his spoken word intros
on EA Sports NBA Street Vol 3. If not,
his dynamic and hard-hitting debut CD
will confirm what you may have already
suspected; Rich Medina’s supreme
taste in music translates to his skill
as a Producer!
Never mind the soul-shaking tone of
his voice, as heard on the opening track
DELIRIUM, or the monster spoken word
composition WEIGHT, Rich’s raw,
organic production style connects down-to-earth
soul, funk & blues to head-nodding
drums, lush melodies, and unorthodox
changes in form.
CONNECTING THE DOTS reflects the unique
style that makes Medina a mainstay for
his fans, unmistakable in the mix as
a DJ, song after song, night in and
night out. |
