- Burgundy Blues
To help kick-start recording Tackett opened a heavily soundproofed
Funky Tilt recording studio last year. Setting it up from scratch
with Tackett paying as close attention to musical detail as he does
any of his recordings meant the public would have to wait a little
longer to hear Hit the Floor, but eventually this space allowed
for late night writing and recording sessions. During this time
Tackett and co perfected a blend of rough n’ready sounds that
is matched by great songwriting. From the call-out party vibe of
the break driven intro’ track “Stand Up” to the
catchy blues-tinged “Hiding” and “Recognize”,
to the ‘60’s vibe of the title track Hit the Floor is
a more varied and accomplished outing than the debut. In addition
to a new album and studio Tackett and co. host the weekly 8 yr old
Rootdown party in LA. They perform regularly to capacity crowds
along side hip hop luminaries such as Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples,
Black Eyed Peas, Freestyle Fellowship, Company Flow, Cut Chemist,
Nu-Mark and DJ Shadow.
