celebrity bbq sauce band: celebrity bbq sauce
Francisco Espregueira
Celebrity BBQ Sauce Band is a brand new project, now releasing their debut via Moodymann’s Mahogani Music, by the duo GFI and UFM—AKA Underground Resistance operative Gerald Mitchell and Billy Love, the Detroit-based vocalist who was part of Mike Banks' Members Of The House. Both of them are longtime figures in the dance music scene and have made a huge impact on Detroit house and techno, now presenting their unique combination of soul, fusion and funk with electronic music.
Celebrity BBQ Sauce is, in fact, an instant classic, pointing to a lot of those classic Detroit house sonic trademarks but with a ‘live session’ feeling all over it - capable of taking us to an old-school house party and to the deepest of Detroit’s nights in a heartbeat. The keys and production by Mitchell encounter in Love’s voice (sometimes singing, sometimes just delivering meaningful words) the perfect partner in crime - providing one of the best 12’’ of 2020. Hosted by Moodymann’s vision for his label, Celebrity BBQ Sauce is a soundtrack for truly mesmerizing moments. Available in vinyl, courtesy of the groundbreaking label and collective from Detroit Mahogani Music.
