FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The DJ from New York known as SeanKev
has released his latest LP record album, “SeanKev 1982 Disco, Funk
& Soul.” The album is entirely mixed in the traditional analog
method, which utilizes hi-fi, 12” and 45 RPM vinyl records rather
than digitized CD recordings. The result is a warm, true sound that
preserves the genuine wavelengths of the actual, live sound captured
on the vinyl medium. SeanKev's “1982” LP is comprised of 17
tracks and a mammoth bonus album mix, for an approximate total
listening time of two-and-a-quarter hours. It has been released on
the SeanKev Records music label.
“SeanKev 1982” is perhaps the only
album of its kind to be officially published this millennium, the
traditional disco-DJ art having given way to electronic house music
DJs perhaps as early as 1990. SeanKev, who is often referred to by
his professional nickname, “Doctor of the Mix,” was raised in
Queens, NY during the 1980s. His uncle was a DJ for many years and
helped to nurture his nephew's musical talent. SeanKev's record
collection began twenty years ago, in 1994.
“My
album is a vintage sound that dates back into the early '80s dance,
funk and disco scene,” the artist writes. “It gives you an idea
of that raw warmth sound from clubs like the Paradise Garage, and
Zanzibar, and Happy Day’s.”
As
a child, SeanKev would save his lunch money to buy records.
“Even
as a youth,” his official artist's bio reads, “he felt that soul
music was a way of life and a spiritual pathway to healing oneself.”
By
1995, he had begun creating professional-grade mixtapes that catered
to the generation of his elders. As his bio tells it, “The older
generation took him in as a son of soul music. While building his
vast collection of abstract boogie and funk records, he became good
friends with legendary producer, Boyd Jarvis, who was introduced to
him through Ricky Wilcock. Boyd, who produced many classics in the
'80s dance scene, taught SeanKev about the Paradise Garage, of which
SeanKev’s father was a member. With this newfound knowledge,
SeanKev realized the true value of the dance culture.”
SeanKev
cites as main artistic influences such legends on wax as Tee
Scott, Larry Joseph, Boyd Jarvis, Larry Levan and “all the vintage
club heads.” Among these greats his name certainly belongs, as any
listener will tell you after spending mere moments with any portion
of “1982.” Sporting a well-deserved degree of fame in the
old-school DJ subculture, SeanKev has mixed with some true modern
titans, such as Natasha Diggs, as well as others.
A humble and highly spiritual music
artist with impeccable taste and razor-sharp style to spare, DJ
SeanKev earnestly believes that the sound of soul music can
spiritually heal a person and align their chakras.
“SeanKev
1982” is available online worldwide. Get in early, disco, funk and
soul fans.
