The easygoing ambience and tight drums of “Light Work” marked the beginnings of La Ville’s creation itself. “I heard the record and it just kind of jumped out of the speakers at me,” he recalls. “I was like, ‘OK, I know what this is.’ It spoke to the hip-hop aesthetic that I always gravitate towards. It was about finding a way to chop and rearrange it that felt unique while adding a groove to it. It sparked the whole project for me.”
Happy-go-lucky and carefree sample-based hip hop featuring punchy drums, light organ, wah-wah guitar and high-pitched synths (samples: 'Black Light' by Alan Frederick Parker, KPMLP1130-6)
Tall Black Guy!! Man I’ve been searching for your music, as a dj and producer brother your music is bananas. It’s a vibe, a morning starter, party starter, pure funk!! Idk where I heard spend my life but I did and when I was listening to the original one day I started to bop the tunes I heard from your edit and said I have to find it. So I hit every knowledgeable dj friend I have and sung it to them in a voice recording lol. My Dj brother from the 757 knew who it was and lead me here! Thank God! Dj PooH On Da Track
