One-76

No doubt, Philly duo ONE-76 revel in dissonantly pleasing sounds. By way of Buffalo and Montreal, ONEdependent and Taki76 stay heavy on the musically eccentric tip, deftly defying you to box them in categorically. ONE-76's syrupy grooves (organically, of course) tease the aural palate and flit from one genre to the next with no remorse. With timely cameos by producer and musician Count Bass, Radio Recession finds joy in leaving listeners musically off-kilter, be it from slap bass funk, Philly soul or "experimental" hip-hop. Joints like "Feel My Pain" (featuring Narykcin), "Case For Modern Man" and "Soul Will Be Free" immediately stand out in what is ultimately a quirky, trippy sound experience.
