I'm sure you remember our feature on house music mogul Eddie Cumana of Kult Records. Well, Eddie has realeased a new EP entitled "Alphabet City", which doesn't happen too often but definitely often enough for us to sleep with our dancin' shoes on!! The album is reminiscent of Eddie's decade long immersion in the culture of Alphabet City on the Lower East Side of Manhattan back when the LES was way more cutting edge, and more recently where Lady Gaga got her start as a local performer. You can best identify with Alphabet City if you know the musical "Rent" as it's based in and all about it.
With this album giving sounds from tech to deep to progressive house, there's a little something-something that every DJ will fire up for sure. It definitely gives us a nostalgic type of feel...like the one we ever so jealously wish we could have but rather admire through Eddie and this album .
.Here's what Eddie had to say about the project...
[After living 10 years on East 13th street & 2nd Ave in NYC, I developed a deep love for the nearby Alphabet City neighborhood where I often hunted for those rare promo vinyls back in the days. These streets are full of color and diversity just like this EP which comes filled with diverse styles and rhythms bunched up into one to make a new unique blended style of underground tracks! I hope you enjoy and as always, thank you all for the love and support!-Eddie]
