What is Mix-Hop?

Aquavibe is the answer. Hip-hop, R&B, rock, soul and dance fused together into one original sound performed by five men committed to The Groovement. Aquavibe tends to appeal to listeners of a wide variety of styles and yet somehow manages not to compromise, transcending popular trends by refusing to sacrifice originality. So much more than a wack rapper with a backing track, this is where the heart of hip-hop and the soul of rock 'n roll come together. This is live original music, something new, a spectacle.

Aquavibe has performed at many well-known venues including Pianos, Lion's Den, Southpaw, Nuyorican Poets' Cafe, CBGB's, Caroline's Comedy Club in Times Square and a little place you might have heard of called the Playboy Mansion. They also have three songs on the soundtrack to the "Playboy: The Mansion" video game and appear as characters in the game. They'vee collaborated with ITF 2000 Western Hemisphere Scratch Champion DJ Excess. D1 produces all Aquavibe music and has composed commercial music for the likes of ESPN, Samuel Adams and Victoria's Secret. DyVerse acted alongside Jeffrey Wright and Zoe Saldana in the acclaimed indy film “Blackout”. Paradox laid voices for the Kryptyx/Media World animated educational program “Gross Out”. The members of Aquavibe are as diverse as the music and their varied talents and interests make it possible for them to come at the music business from all angles simultaneously.

The CD, "The People's Groovement Vol. 1" represents the beginning of a new phase. It was designed as a primer for new fans to introduce the band and explain what they do and why. It's also dedicated to friends and fans who have waited patiently (or impatiently) for the chance to hear the new songs and start spreading the word. Like the band itself, this disc is many things at once and it does them all well.
