WOW so funking funky, its got the hooks!
East Coast psych-soul outfit The Stepkids who are on the fantastic Stones Throw fuse 70s soul, funk, punk, jazz, folk, West African rhythms and modern classical creating distinctive and timeless tracks.
The Stepkids who take on psychedilia in the 21st century have perked the ears of BBC Radio 1 DJs Gilles Peterson and Zane Lowe, as well as Tyler The Creator, Mojo, Drowned In Sound, The Village Voice and many more.
The unique sound comes from more than a decade of musical experimentation and experience. Raised on the East Coast jazz and the R&B circuit, individual band members went on to share stages with 50 Cent and Lauryn Hill, tour internationally with Alicia Keys, score movies and commercials, and produce solo albums.
“My new album is gonna sound like this. I wanna make the music I actually get all my influence from.”
Tyler, The Creator (OFWGKTA)
“Discovery of the year – time for The Stepkids to step up!”
Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 1
