Sugar Sonic has teamed up with up and coming Toronto rap legend Loonie Bones for the track Inner City Attitude. The remix called “Steppin to the 70’s” is due to be released mid-summer on Loonie’s latest album “Rhymestein”.

In-depth:
It not only brings together 2 genres of music, it also bridges 2 generations and how they perceive recording their music. “We grew up listening to vinyl.” says Randy, of Sugar Sonic, “…everything was live off the floor, reel to reel, warm distortion and little if any sampling.” (see the documentary Sound City). For Loonie Bones and producer Steve Jackson, there have always been digital sources for music from the latest digital technologies. This fusion becomes more interesting because, on one hand you have the analogue generation learning how to work in the digital world, on the other you have the digital generation learning about how to capture the analogue sound. Loonie does a great job of capturing the inner city vibe. Look for his full-length album to be released in fall 2014 <a href=”https://www.facebook.com/pages/Loonie-Bones/115977168502938″ target=”_blank”>Find Loonie Bones</a>.

“Something this whole genre realm has been missing is a proper merging of the roots of 70’s soul with the best of the beats and lyrics being laid down in the present tense century. Usually what results with such attempts is an unbalanced seesaw, either too reliant on classic songs to carry the load, or not enough melodic originality to make the tune explode – but this cinematic and downright profound remix unlocks the demon, and fills that void historically. Want Inner City Attitude? When you delve into the world of Steve Jackson, Loonie Bones, and of course Sugar Sonic, it’s safe to say you’ve already got it.”
