Album Notes

INTERBORO TECTONICS
No force is capable of containing the power of the Earth's tectonic plates; constantly in motion, they grind & collide, resulting in high mountain ranges, explosive volcanic eruptions, and destructive earthquakes.

Similarly, in New York City, no man can control the results of the complex cultural & social movements of the people who reside here, and the interactions, tensions, & conflicts that arise between groups result in massive and unpredictable releases of energy.

This cultural friction is the source that fuels the album,
"INTERBORO TECTONICS" by DJ Kiva featuring vocalist Anthony Mills.
Recorded by the two in a collaborative effort, it reveals a multi-dimensional soundscape of human emotions, from the fiery declarations of "Stressin' You," to the soulful lover's dance vibes of "U Like Me," to the heartfelt trumpets of the closing requiem, "Into Twilite."

This album pulls the listener into new unexplored areas of sound.
8 of the 12 tracks featured are in Kiva's unique style of music, StuttaStep: a blend of off-the-ritcher scale bass, beyond broken beats, afrocuban riddims, and dubwise mixing flavors. Though many of these songs break ground into new rhythmic forms, they are indeed club tracks designed to mash up speakerboxes and move the crowd, songs equally at home on hi-powered soundsystems as they are for the headphone meditations of the urban traveller.
An album of many depths, from start to finish, this album stands unique and powerful.

Creating a stir in the underground NYC music community since it's introduction on cdr, the album has won the approval of listeners from the communities of Hip-Hop, Broken Beat, Jungle, Reggae, and Soul Music, and continues reaching outward to listeners nationwide & internationally.

"Interboro Tectonics" is a soundtrack of upliftment , resistance, compassion, and perseverance in the face of all challenges of today's complex world.
