Physical and digital version of the release will be available August 2, 2011.
Sheen Bros is a concept developed by Cosmo Baker (NYC) and 4th Pyramid (Toronto), in an attempt to fill the people’s need for something special they call Scumbag Funk: their own brand of sexy dancefloor flavor.
Cosmo Baker is a party-rocking DJ best known for his NYC Monthly (and Scion Streaming Radio Station) The Rub. He has established a craft blending hip-hop, disco, funk, and electronic varieties. Cosmo takes the apparent role in Sheen Bros on the turntables.
4th Pyramid has spent over a decade shifting gears writing rhymes, making beats, and packing clubs; a transition few do so flawlessly. He has travelled the globe alongside hip-hop elite, and now finds his groove in Sheen Bros manning the MPD.
The Sheen Bros live up to the anticipation paying homage to their hip-hop and disco roots running the gamut of mood and genre. XXXchange’s remix speeds things up with an electro-disco treatment. Miracles Club slows the track down a bit giving it a cool languid summer feel. The Torro Torro remix is a pure mind rocker, as the Toronto team frantically change things up with a flip of the switch. Finishing out the record is a remix by Whiskey Barons offering pure class in their re-work of “It’s So Hot” adding guitar work and soulful percussion.
In its ongoing effort to show support for the arts, Scion covers all production, licensing and distribution costs for the A/V projects and all proceeds go directly back to the labels and artists involved.
“Scion A/V continues its dedication to the art and music community by devoting itself to artist development and success. Collaborating with Cosmo Baker and 4th Pyramid’s new project under the Sheen Bros is a testimony to Scion’s committed to artist development. “says Jeri Yoshizu, manager of sales promotions for Scion.
Scion A/V Remix: Sheen Bros is also available for streaming on Scion’s new lifestyle portal, ScionAV.com and via the Scion AV Radio App for the iPhone ®, iPod Touch ®, and iPad ®.
