The Club House this special SUNDAY AFTERNOON are celebrating the record
release of Undergound Quality's newest EP "Underworld" by AYBEE flown
in from Oakland California.
Emerging in 2001, AYBEE has caught the attention of many fans of
soulful electronic
music, armed with a distinct sound that some say meshes the drum of
urban
intensity with the ethereal sentiments of a Zen Temple. Releasing music
under a
wide range of monikers (Orion 70, Afrobatik, o1o, Lamaj, Bla Kula, Prof
Delacroix)
AYBEE’s versatility is genre defiant. Seamlessly weaving through Soul,
Techno,
House, and Hip-Hop.
A product of Oakland, CA, AYBEE comes from a steep family tradition of
Soul,
Rebellion, and Exploration. Born from “The Struggle” he developed a
strong affinity
for music’s link to social movement. Experiencing first hand the power
of music’s
ability to help people transcend the often-unforgiving streets of
Oakland. It is that
uplifting power of music, and dance that ultimately pushed AYBEE to
embark on the
exploration of himself as an artist.
In 2001 AYBEE launched Deepblak Recordings as a creative outlet for his
music.
Upon releasing a slew of underground remixes along with original
material,
Deepblak’s Future Soul sound began to gather a following along with
turning some
heads within industry mainstays. Ultimately catching the attention of
Legendary
Producer/DJ Ron Trent. After joining the Prescription family AYBEE and
Trent
would come together to co-found Prescription sub-label Future Vision,
and create
music as the “Indigenous Space People, and the Blak Punk Soundsystem”.
Since then AYBEE has gone on to release an impressive string of
records, which
included his much heralded “Revolution Of 1 EP” on his Deepblak
imprint. While
forging forward in developing Deepblak as a home for avant-garde music,
AYBEE has
also gained momentum as a sought after Selecta with some of his DJ Sets
approaching cult status. Emerging from a school of highly skilled DJ’s
he pushes to
elevate the dance floor experience while championing good music.
