Right Of Passage vinyl

Yes! Detroit fixture Raybone Jones gets the chance to showcase fully his production style with this Right Of Passage 12" for the Moods & Grooves label. A DJ since the age of 11, Jones has risen through the ranks in the D, honing his skills and introducing his famed nephew Kyle Hall to the art of mixing records. Examples of Raybone's talent as a producer have thus far been restricted to a couple of contributions to illustrious compilations such as Still Music's In The Dark or the Rick Wilhite curated Vibes - New & Rare collection on Rush Hour. The three cuts here are hopefully the first of many more Raybone Jones 12"s, with the producer locking onto that soulful, driving end of the Detroit house spectrum with "Kendal's Journey". On the flip "Ronnie's Affair" belongs in the Mahogani school of thought, with deft samples, hooky disco lines and the finest in percussive grooves. "Call It What U Want" ends on a much deeper note and has a sublime vocal breakdown.
