EJ AVIANCE'S - I AM ART CD REVIEW by
CARLOS "CJ1' AVIANCE
2. SHE’S THAT – I’m feeling the beginnings of an old school tribal house track. I don’t know if I’m coming or going. But, this isn’t the track asking you for a bump so I’ll save that for later. Is this thing on, hello? Is this recording my voice, live? It’s making me very nervous!
3. IT’S OVAH CAN YOU HANDLE IT? – I’m ready to hit the floor and wondering, ARE YOU READY? I’m bringing it, turning it, and we come you live & direct. We have something very important to bring you. It’s Ovah, can you handle it!? Is anyone walking? I hear echoes of a distant runway that just got served.
4. GAGGING (momma’s dub) – Giving you breath! I can’t catch mine & I feel like I’m gagging. The hi-hat with electro pianos is thumping and expectant. This is the track that reminds me of hanging with my friends in the NYC clubs, watching each other live. “She’s Gagging!!!” We know what it means, taken back by EJ & Coqui saying, “That’s ok” to the unexpected call by EJ’s mother.
5. THROWBACK – From the start, just the sound makes you feel like you’re preparing for a ball in the 80s. Teasing me with sounds, peppered with eras of old school. Honey let me tell you something, collaborations is just something we do. Now let’s take it back, one’s Costa Rican, one’s Black. It’s not over... it’s OVAH!
6. R.I.F. - What you hear my dear is audio. Don’t get it twisted, it’s only in your head, Rest in Fierce my darling, the sounds are quite alive, not nearly dead. This track is giving you a conjunction with a function, a who, a what & a where. ::turns the page:: Reading Is Fundamental.
7. TRUST – We’re in the jungle giving you tribal drums, live and direct from the forest music express. Trust in us andall shall be well. I could do without the Casio piano sounds but I enjoy the pops. These sounds are all over the place, but I have faith in the ones to come.
8. R U EXPERIENCED? – I’m at the coat check and I'm over it, cause I wish I was on the floor dancing to this is a song, but instead, I'm on this long ass line. It's very space invaders, out there but underground. And it’s your mission, should you choose to accept it, to merge the 2 into one bump. Come here, let me talk to you for a moment. Are you experienced? Can you handle it? Let me give you a bullet and blow you away!
9. KNOCKOFF – The nerve! Feeling like a million and showing it off. Ana Sui, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karen, Thierry Mugler and Miss Muccia Prada, what, where, how… when? Your 19.00 dollar Chanel Knockoff!? The nerve, miss thing!
10. IT’S DONE – It’s battle time bitches! And while you’re getting ready, I’m already done. You feel ill, I look sickening, you just lost & I just won. Bring it, walk for me! This is one of my favorite tracks. ATL to NYC, EJ, Mother Juan and the rest of the Aviance family, here, there, we’re everywhere! Can you handle it? It’s OVAH, AVI’OUSLY!
11. OYE MARICON – Just when you thought it was quieting down, it’s about to bring it back harder and faster, with a blip, a rolling thump, build up, a bang, a cha cha and a drum! Move out the way bitches, I’m about to give you a Sumba, a Salsa, Meringue & Bachata! Oye Maricon, callate la boca y dame chicaron!! It gives you bass & tribal all the way through, keeps the stamina of a hot Latin man!
12. I AM ART (coqui’s mix) – A great house track to end, synth build ups and rock chord gives it a new dimension while the timbales click and clack. A great ending to a terrific compilation, different and unexpected!

EJ AVIANCE - I AM ART CD - PRESS RELEASE!!!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
I Am Art CD Project by EJ Aviance
Produced by Jorge "Coqui" Villalobos
Product Orchestrated by Mother Juan Aviance
We are proud to announce the greatly anticipated release of I Am Art, the debut album (CD) by House of Aviance member EJ Aviance.
The I Am Art CD includes a dozen tracks of the best House beats that you will hear anywhere! DJ/Producer Coqui has produced a beat lovers gem from beginning to end. His sampling style and mixing ability have created a fresh and exciting sound layered with fun, catchy, lyrical vocals by EJ Aviance. DJ Jerome Farley of Sound Factory and C&C Music Factory says, "This expertly constructed set of tracks comprises the first notable dance album of 2013. In pure Aviance style, grace and musical excellence, this collection represents a milestone in Electronic Dance Music. I too am indebted to the House of Aviance for my first successful forays into club music, as DJ and label manager, and once again Mother Juan Aviance has tapped and developed an artist and producer with a very bright future."
This CD is a musical journey that incorporates samples from such legends as: Cajmere, First Choice, Robbie Tronco, School House Rock (ABC), Outer Mind, Ethyl Meatplow, Soft House Company, Patrick Cowley, Veronica, The La Mambo Combo - El Robo, Black Evita - Yo Mira & D.O.P. Dajae and many, many more! These artists, music producers, singers and songwriters alike have helped pave the way with their musical styles which have influenced Coqui, Biff, and EJ to create the music “Art” that is in this CD. EJ states, “These musical influences were so powerful I could not move forward as an artist, performer or songwriter without starting right here with the pioneers of the past! My hat’s off to all the musical talents and artistic influences instrumental to this project”
EJ Aviance is a seasoned performance artist Born in Charlottesville, Virginia. After leaving Virginia and moving to Washington, DC in 1991, he was introduced to the legendary House of Aviance and his journey started. He is an active performer and has appeared in many venues nationwide, including the recent seven-city Manhunt “Dirty” Tour as Host and MC. His influences range widely, but he has been especially impacted by the genius vision of Mother Juan Aviance as well as through Dance Music legend Kevin Aviance who set the framework and raised the bar!
The I AM ART CD project is unique in that it is entirely produced from within the House of Aviance, from the CD cover art, mastering, fundraising and the video promo ads. It is the latest chapter in the storied history of the House and its performers.
