DJ Greyboy - October 8, 2005
In the first half of the 1990s, hip hop's solid breakbeat bottom met up with the unrestrained styles of jazz to creat the sounds of trip hop and acid jazz. Southern California producer and disc-jockey, Greyboy, was at the center of this convergence. Dropping his debut album "Freestylin'" in 1994, Greyboy was pioneering in his ability to spin up laid-back grooves equally suited ot the lounge and the dancefloor. The core of Greyboy's sound has changed little over the years. Whether working solo or collaborating with the likes of saxophonist Karl Denson, rapper AG, or the Greyboy All-stars - which he founded - he consistently fits tight riffs over effective breakbeats on his albums. As a DJ, Greyboy remains dedicated to his craft whether playing to a club full of scenesters of a stadium crowd while opening for Ben Harper and Jack Johnson. At times, Greyboy's music can wander off into the soul-free world of light jazz, but generally he can be counted on as a reliable source of high-quality beats.
