The Butcha. “We grew up hanging out in clubs and djing. Our heroes are alive in our record collections. VINYL LIFE will give that back to our audiences by creating live house and techno on real drum machines with analog synthesizers. ” Harlem born MC Phaze Future of Smash Mechanics controls the mic with a unique voice and smooth style. Keyboards are played buy multi-instrumentalist and DJ Richie Roxx. Rhythmic layers and sound FX are contributed by DJ Ohzee.
