VenueConnecTion - Fire It Up! (2011)

VenueConnection formed in 2002 with the quest to explore new ways of hitting those funky grooves. As one of Madrid, Spain’s pleasant surprises in the urban music market, V.C. has journeyed a long way; evolving from an electronic jazz soul trio (Strawberry Swan Lake) to a flamingo driven funk outfit (Madrid Boogie). Two years removed from Madrid Boogie, V.C. has topped itself with its biggest pride and joy to date - Fire It Up – which delivers sizzling funk, tasteful slow jams and passionate vocals by Angeles Dorio and Karl Frierson. This offering harkens to jazz funk’s golden era of the late seventies. And thanks to the crisp foundations from drummer/percussionist Miguel Cabana and Javier del Aguilar’s swift bass guitar lines, V.C. nails all the groove pockets with sheer precision.
