  UNITED VIBRATIONS
 RA! (Parts 1 & 2) / JOURNEY

 Label : 12TONE RECORDS
Cat No : 12TONE12001

12 inch due out mid April via Adela Street. 

United Vibrations are charting new waters in the ocean of British Music. 
Inspired by a wealth of different sources, ranging from Drum ‘n’ Bass and Hip-Hop to rock and afro-beat. They are re-establishing the ‘Live’ element to “Black”, “Urban” musicInspired by the Rock and Funk pioneers of the 70’s they are forging a new direction for live music coming out of London. As comfortable in a squat rave as in Ronnie Scotts, these guys are obliterating the established boundaries between, Jazz, Rock and Dance music, forming their own brand of hi-tempo dance music. 

They call their music 12tone.. A play on words, combining the already established terms of 2-tone (80’s fusion of Jamaican and British music to form ska), and 12-tone (type of a-tonal composition formed by Arnold Schoenberg). The band consists of sax, trombone, bass and drums, with each member contributing to vocals in typical chant/singing style reminiscent of the large funk and soul ensembles of the 70’s.

All profits from the sale of this single are going to a Community Land Trust to build a self-sufficient, carbon neutral housing co-operative in London.
