jacobhalton Amazing blend of retro sounds and vocals with modern taste. Both amazing artists and their combined work sounds incredible. One of my favorite albums of all time Favorite track: Jupiter.

Djn/A ma jeunesse a été berce par le disco , la funk,la soul , le jazz ,la pop depuis les années 75, et lorsque j'ai écoute l'album il était impératif qu'il soit dans ma collection de vynile auprès de chakakhan , shakatak, jamiroquai ,spence, et bien d'autres . c'est ma façon de vous dire que votre album et a la hauteur des plus grands , je ne demande qu'a vibrer sur vos prochaines compo Favorite track: Can't Stop Us Now.

Don Carlos So HOT !!! The APX Continues to drop the beats and fill the spaces in between with the breaks that keep you moving.
The APX once again, is clearly defining modern Funk in a powerful and authentic way.
Blessings to you both for another fantastic release! :)) Favorite track: F.Y.G. feat. Zapp.

released June 20, 2019

The APX are releasing their highly anticipated self-titled sophomore album Amplified Experiment! Detroit native singer/songwriter Erika Dawn alongside her prodigy multi talented husband Dee Rhodes are an Atlanta based electro funk/soul duo collectively known as The APX.
Amplified Experiment encores the duo's sound with a 2020 approach, fueled with the influence of the finest traditional 80’s & 90’s style funk, house, & soul.
Including the previously released single Jupiter, Amplified Experiment includes a completely self-produced and masterfully crafted collection of brand new songs that will make you dance, make love, relax or all of the above!
Amplified Experiment is a breath taking catalyst, ushered in by Erika Dawn's soul stirring, nostalgic power-house vocals, accompanied by Dee Rhodes' heart-pounding, adrenaline injected, soulful soundtrack.
The group enjoyed prior success in the last two years with Electrik Funk Deluxe, the groups introductory album garnering #1 status internationally, and their single Lose Yourself to the Groove showcased in the Netflix romantic comedy Nappily Ever After, starring Sanaa Lathan.
Amplified Experiment blasts your ears into rhythmic euphoria with a collective of experienced musicians and lyrical contributors, including songwriter Oli J Shaheer (constent contributor to The APX), songwriter D’wight “Skrapp” Reynolds, (Whitney Houston, Usher, Akon) Guitarist/Bassist/Producer Brandon McCrae (Christina Millian, Sevyn Streeter, Lyfe Jennings), Trumpeter Lance Powlis (Janelle Monae, Yelawolf, Big K.R.I.T) and also features the legendary Zapp Band, chart topping funk group Mink Slide, and accomplished singer/songwriter Will Gittens. Amplified Experiment also includes loud & proud cameos from the New Jack Swing creator and Grammy winning producer, Teddy Riley and the legendary Grammy winning singer Jody Watley, giving their stamps of praise and approval!

"Amplified Experiment is our journey further into the world of funk," says Dee Rhodes, "You'll really get to experience different sides of Erika's vocal abilities while gauging the range of styles our production can go.
For the past two years, we have been working very hard on this album and it is really special to us!"

I was caught by surprise because I was giving S.O.S., Mtume, Evelyn 'Champagne' King, & Kashif plenty of spins and then this appears. No lie this is a continuation of funk from the 80's but this is the modern way to pull it off. They are amazing together live as well! everythingfallstogether
