[CMJ SHOWCASE] TORTURED SOUL + DJ CHRIS ANNIBELL
@ Love
Back in 2001, with drums, electric bass, vintage keys, and soulful
vocals, Tortured Soul burst upon the scene as pioneers of live house
music.
Since then, legions of house fans have flocked to hear Tortured
Soul’s sounds: Afro Beat and Samba through a lens of jazzy House
and American Soul to reflect intense grooves evocative of
Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, the New Deal, and Fela Kuti.
Tortured Soul was conceived by drummer, singer, and songwriter
Christian Urich – known in world of house and R&B as founder and
leader of the band Cooly’s Hot Box. The single “We Don’t Have To Be
Alone” introduced Cooly’s Hot Box to the house music world, and
their acid jazz classic “Don’t Throw My Love Around” on Polygram’s
London/Payday Records is featured on the first Giant Steps
compilation and as the hook for Armond Van Heldon’s “Funk
Phenomenon.” Urich has worked with such producers as Reggie
Lucas (Madonna, Stephanie Mills), DJ Spinna, and Roger Sanchez (on
his album First Contact.)
The first Tortured Soul single for Central Park Recordings was the
now-classic house track “I Might Do Something Wrong” re-mixed by
Osunlade. The track was an immediate success, playing weekly at
New York’s legendary party Body & Soul and altering the sound of
Central Park Recordings. Inspired by Tortured Soul the label turned
in a new direction, and focused on the fusion of soul with deep house
music.
Blending Jazz with Brazilian pop, African rhythms, and 70’s
R&B…merging James Jamerson, Bootsy Collins, and Paul Chambers
into one… Tortured Soul brings a musical experience that speaks to
everyone’s needs.
Chris Annibell, founder and resident of NYC’s Afrokinetic parties,
spins a seemless mix of afro-funk, house, soul, broken beat, latin
grooves and jazz. An accomplished DJ and Producer, Annibell has
hosted and shared the stage with the likes of Osunlade, Vikter
Duplaix Daz-I-Kue, DJ Spinna… to just name a few.
