Music 101 Release: Rise

Music 101 is proud to introduce DJ/producer extraordinaire Kenny Carvajal to the underground House music world. An integral member of Music 101 as a resident dj, he now steps into the producer arena with an uplifting piece for the ages.

Kenny's mature music making vibe is best exemplified by his collaborators on this project; all have individually put their stamp on the underground scene spanning the Earth. First and foremost to be mentioned is vocalist supreme John Redmond. His unmistakable voice laces this track with a typical gracious ease. Add keyboard work from Playin' 4 The City's Olivier Portal and live bass from Toby Williams, and the staying power of a classic is evident, provided are the original mix on Side A with the jam mix (dub) and bonus beats on the flip side.
