Devonne Harris aka DJ Harrison
Richmond, Virginia, has a reputation for producing artists both historically fluent and forward-thinking — you won’t find a better example of this than in the prolific catalogue of Devonne Andre Harris, AKA DJ Harrison. ‘ElectroSoul’, the producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist’s eleventh LP, came to life following a health scare and unexpected stay in hospital; a period of stillness kick-started a new wave of creativity, cooking up eighteen tracks that bridge past and present — groove-driven improvisational music fusing jazz, funk, neo-soul and indie rock by way of jangly guitar tones and math-rock minimalism.
