RHEJI BURRELL from Burrell Brothers - NU GROOVE RECORDS interview by Dax DJ
1. First tell us about Nu - Groove.
Nu Groove was an outlet for music lovers by music lovers... it just happened to be Uptempo Music and majority Dance / house style at first. But we all were interested in great music first!
2. Describe your sound and your music future vision..
I tried to make something that I "wished" that I did. Again I love music first, all types... so putting a 4 on the floor behind it, in most cases was the no brainer part of my productions.
3. Describe whats happening in Club Culture and life, 1989-92 and now?
It became extra worldly and over-saturated... some good and some bad. Money and opportunity put a lot of people in the game, instead of talent. In short, in my opinion, too many fake deep people got through! and it never was about posing, just real!
4. Talk about Nu - Groove Records family.
Frank - One of the smartest, funniest men I've ever known. I respected him and his business right up until the end. Karen - a sweet heart, Judy - Knows this game inside out and is funny as hell too. Artist, DJ's and Producers - The music is our legacy, it speaks for it's self!
5. Your "House Music" theory.
Make music first..push the tempo and make sure you love it yourself. Impress yourself! That's a "Theory" it translates to music, house music, polka music whatever!
6. Melody or Beat oriented?
Both and More. I care about everything!
7. Analog? Digital?
It don't matter. Digital is easier to work with of course, but the end result is what comes out of them 2 speakers. I never saw a dance floor clear cause someone used protools or logic instead a rack of keyboards and a 16 track.
8. 25 West 38th.
Could've been a church site.
9. Your coming new web site Burrell Brothers.
It will be the place to get everything Burrell... records, classic and new. Previously released on indies and majors. A Talent Agency, Management & Consulting and Filmed Entertainment, Merchandising too. We're no taking back and control of Burrell Property. Sorry Bootleggers
10. Your best all-the-time favourite five trax/titles.
ALL of them. Like I said, I love them all or I would've let them out of the basement!
