Silver Skylarks - The Number One Set And Sound [Compact Disc]

CD features the bonus remix of Power Moves featuring Kool G Rap. 

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 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.  

Special guests and contributors include Adrian Quesada (Black Pumas), Rapper/Producer Large Professor (Nas, Tribe Called Quest), Grammy-winner Mark Lettieri, and Robert Ellis as well as a very special contribution from the legendary DOC (Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg) – just to name a few.

Balis and Wade also found amazing chemistry working with Austin-based singing duo US! (Uncle Roy and Spice) who fortified the songs with tremendous feel, harmony and soul.
