What is Mix-hop? The LP

What is Mix-Hop? Aquavibe is the answer with its uncompromising, eclectic blend of hip-hop, turntablism, r&b, rock, soul and dance fused together for one original sound.  Mix-hop as they describe it is culture remixed and genre evolved. Aquavibe transcends popular trends while remaining unapologetically original. Its live. Its new. Its a spectacle – and don’t you look away.

Committed to the Groovement for the past 10+ years, the five-member band have album sales on six continents, and have performed at numerous reputable venues including Pianos, Lion’s Den, Southpaw, Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe, CBGB’s, Caroline’s Comedy Club in Times Square and a little place you may have heard of: The Playboy Mansion, which they not only rocked the socks off, but three of Aquavibe’s songs are featured on the soundtrack to the mansion’s video game [Playstation, X-Box, PC], and the members are featured characters in the game as well.

Aquavibe has provided music for several indie films including 2007’s Blackout and cameo in the upcoming Accountants Story. Lead singer and musician, D1, produces all of the band’s music and has composed commercial music for the likes of ESPN, Samuel Adams and Victoria’s Secret. Emcees Dyverse the 1^st and Paradox or “Dox” are successfully expanding into film careers in front of and behind the camera.

Aquavibe’s new lp, What Is Mix-Hop?, is set to splash winter 2011 [on iTunes] with a bevy of potential singles showcasing their creative versatility while lending a unique vantage into their onstage presence.

WHAT IS MIX HOP?

Aquavibe is the answer. Hip-hop, R&B, rock, soul and dance fused together into one original sound performed by six men committed to The Groovement. Aquavibe appeals to listeners with a wide variety of styles and yet manage to remain unbending and uncompromising to the monotone standard of today’s music. They are able to create and transcend popular trends by refusing to sacrifice originality.

This is where the heart of hip-hop and the soul of rock ‘n roll come together. This is live original music. This is something new. This is a spectacle. Don’t look away.

Aquavibe has performed at such popular venues as Pianos, Lion’s Den, Southpaw, Nuyorican Poets’ Cafe, CBGB’s, Caroline’s Comedy Club in Times Square and a little place you might have heard of called the Playboy Mansion. Not only did they rock the mansion in person, but they have three songs on the soundtrack to the Playboy Mansion video game and appear as characters in the game!

Aqua Vibe has collaborated with Dj Excess (Scratch Champion). Aquavibe’s lead singer, D1, produces all of Aquavibe’s music and has composed commercial music for the likes of ESPN, Samuel Adams and Victoria’s Secret. DyVerse acts alongside Jeffrey Wright and Zoe Saldana in the acclaimed indy film “Blackout [sold to Paramount BET]. Paradox did voices for the Kryptyx/Media World animated educational program “Gross Out” and yeah, it’s pretty damn gross. The members of Aquavibe are as diverse as the music and our varied talents and interests are making it possible for us to come at the music business from all angles.

The new CD, The People’s Groovement Vol. 1 represents the beginning of a new phase. It was designed as a primer for new fans to introduce the band and explain what they do and why. It’s also a gift to the dedicated friends and fans who have waited patiently (or impatiently) for the chance to hear the new songs and start spreading the word. Like the band itself, this disc is many things at once and it does them all well.
