DJ Drez Releases New Album, Alpine Swift and Subsequent Remix Album

By Rapstation Editor for Rapstation.com

Producer, musical director and sound ambassador DJ Drez is a master of his craft in the studio and on stage. Drez cuts and composes profoundly original tracks that facilitate body movement practices of all forms. Rooted in the underground Los Angeles hip-hop scene, Drez applies precise turntablist skills to his provocative vision for truly universal music, which results in intelligently constructed masterpieces comprised of hip-hop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae. 

In the midst of a non-stop, world-wide tour schedule, Drez has released another solo effort, Alpine Swift, while simultaneously producing a Sānskrit mantra record with his wife, vocalist Marti Nikko. He’s also working on a more traditional hip-hop record with longtime collaborator, Zaire Black. Both projects are expected to be ready for release in 2016.
 
Drez has worked with a myriad of prolific artists, including Blackstar, KRS 1, Black Eyed Peas, Macy Gray, Eminem, and Project Blowed, and organizations like Adidas, X Games, ABC, and Okayplayer. He’s also shared the stage with everyone from Moby, Ziggy Marley and Common to Femi Kuti, De La Soul and Lee Scratch Perry.

In addition to Alpine Swift, he’s also repurposed a remix version, which includes guest vocals from the likes of Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh. Check out www.djdrez.com for more information and www.soundcloud.com/djdrez for music.
