Roy Davis, Jr.

As a pioneer in both Acid House (as a member of Phuture) and the aggressive, tribal wild pitch sound, Davis has developed a unique sound that combines stark minimalism with deep emotion. Eschewing the easy 4/4 shuffle favored by many House producers, he instead concentrates on creating cuts that are rhythmically unpredictable while still being entirely danceable. Melodic, soulful and effortlessly funky.
