(Clicka qua per la versione Italiana)
Hi-Fi Killers are a Seattle duo of white disc jockeys,
Kevin Lee Oakland and Johnny Horn,
part of the
white "blaxpoitation" movement that abstracts black music into instrumental
suites.
Their approach is more nostalgic than trip-hoppy.
The funk and hip-hop journey of
Loaded (Loosegroove, 1997), embellished with old-school
horns and keyboards, is a diligent but uninspired take on
Beastie Boys and George Clinton.
Possession (Loosegroove, 1998) has more "soul" (literally) in
Mind Thuggin and Hardball.
Jamaica (Loosegroove, 1999) is what the title says: a tribute to
dancehall, dub, reggae.
