Description
Silver Skylarks debut album The Number One Set and Sound is a funky, hard-grooving excursion intent on releasing a "crate classic" into the world. Songwriter/musician Danny Balis (Bastards of Soul) and producer Jeff "Skin" Wade teamed up to turn several of Balis' lockdown pandemic demos into the type of record that collectors/diggers, groove aficionados, DJ's and hip-hop producers would be elated to discover and add to their crates. Rooted in the grooves and sonics of '70s American R&B and West African funk with hints of afrobeat, dub, jazz and latin soul - The Number One Set and Sound aims to work on the dancefloor as well as embody the sound that helped to launch B-Boy culture and the sample generation that fueled hip-hop, house and break-based music. Features Large Professor of Main Source, Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas, Uncle Roy & Spice (US!) and The D.O.C.
