Armed with a passion for the arts, Ian Friday is on a creative mission. This New Yorker has been seen on stage and film and has performed throughout NYC as a poet. In 1994 he founded a nonprofit arts organization called the Tea Party which provided a platform for upcoming and established artists such as Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Saundra St. Victor, Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Saul Williams, The Antibalas and the Last Poets. The Tea Party also featured one of the hottest and well respected open mics in NYC as well as a party with Ian at the deejay helm.
Ian Friday launched his own label, TEA PARTY MUSIC, in the spring of 2006, featuring his original productions and features Erro, Corey Glover, Kelli Sae, Byron Moore and Shelley Nicole. First up for Tea Party Music is the smash single Life Starts Today with Byron Moore on the vocals. Stay tuned to this incredibly talented DJ, producer, song writer, and poet!
Est-il encore nécessaire de présenter Louie Vega, la moitié des cultissimes Masters at Work en duo avec son non moins célèbre compère Kenny Dope Gonzales ? Vainqueur des Grammy Awards, et patron du label Vega Records depuis 2003, la carrière de Louie Vega dépasse toutes les frontières. Après avoir attiré la crème des artistes, comme Jocelyn Brown, Roy Ayers, India, Vincent Montana Jr., the Salsoul Orchestra, George Benson ou Tito Puente, après avoir revisité toute la pop, la funk et la soul avec des remixes notamment de Madonna, Donna Summer, Nina Simone, Janet Jackson, Jamiroquai ou encore Earth Wind & Fire, Louie Vega continue de nous offrir le sommet de son art avec un registre au-delà des genres: de la Bossanova à la Samba, du Jazz à la Salsa, du Latino à l'Afro en passant par le hip-hop le tout sur fond de House Deep and Sexy. Alors avis à tous les mélomanes, RDV sur P1 Deeper les mardis 26 mai et 02 juin à 20h et les samedis 30 mai et 06 juin à 18h.
