Review: Cincinnati-based producer Doctor Bionic (Jason Grimez), known for his work with the 90s rap group MOOD, delivers a seamless fusion of jazz, hip hop, funk, soul and reggae in his latest project. As an executive producer and DJ, Grimez continues to tap into the sonic textures of the late 60s and early 70s, sampling and recording with analog gear to recreate the authentic sound he's always admired. Collaborating with local musicians like Jonathan Luck Spaulding and Josh "Mojo" Cole, Grimez brings his vision to life with a rich blend of instrumental layers that transport listeners to a different era. This release, part of a larger series, exemplifies Grimez's ability to curate smooth, captivating radio mixes that cater to fans of classic, groove-heavy sounds. As always, Doctor Bionic's releases come with a distinctive visual touch, this time working with Israeli artist Refael Idan Suissa to craft an eye-catching album cover. Perfect for setting the mood, this latest project promises to be another standout in his growing catalogue.
