The writer, producer and performer of
eclectic alternative music known as Bruce Mack has released his
latest LP album, “Lo-Fi Exploits of a Misplant on Shaolin.” The
record contains 11 original tracks for just over half an hour's worth
of listening. It has been proudly published as an independent release
without the direction of the corporate music industry. Blending
elements of soul, RnB, and even rock-n-roll, “Lo-Fi Exploits of a
Misplant on Shaolin” is a record to put Bruce Mack on the map once
and for all.
Bruce Mack cites as main artistic
influences a broad sampling of various sounds, including Jon
Hendricks, Parliament Funkadelic, Junie Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Sun
Ra, Eddie Jefferson, Dexter Wansel, and the BlackByrds. His own sound
on “Lo-Fi Exploits of a Misplant on Shaolin” can't be nailed down
to a single pigeonhole, but suffice it to say, if an indie-rock crew
were to smash into a jazz studio which then fell downstairs into a
funk and soul club, the resulting style might sound something like
this latest offering from Bruce Mack.
Bruce Mack (AKA B-Mack or Ultron-B) has
always been mixing music around. As co-founder of '80s/'90s R&B/punk
band, PBR Streetgang, B-Mack is a multi-instrumentalist and
innovative singer with a broader versatility than that exhibited by
many of today's music artists. His popular 2015 track, “Karma Can
Be Long” was featured on “Buddha Bug Records Mixtape Vol.1” on
the Buddha Bug label. Mack worked as co-producer on Tricky Dilemma’s
“John P. Parker: A View From 9 Dimensions” with DJ Val-Inc and
guitarist Marvin Sewell in 2007.
Mack has said of his themes on “Lo-Fi
Exploits...,” “Don't let your mistakes hold you back. Use them to
grow and get better at life.”
Bruce Mack is additionally a founding
member of Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber, bandleader of Melvin Van
Peebles wid/Laxative, and the former president of the Black Rock
Coalition.
A professional music educator, Mack has
also inspired many of today's youth to pursue careers in
entertainment at the John Melsener Elementary School (PS3) in the
West Village, where he has taught for nearly two decades. His work is
noted in the film documentary, “When Fried Eggs Fly.”
Mack is currently producing an EP to be
released later 2018 for the band, Rules of Aquah, in which he is lead
composer and front man.

Shaolin” by Bruce Mack is available from over 600 quality digital
music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, fans of creative
music everywhere.
