His father co-owned a barber shop that exposed King to funk and soul. His mother, who would take him to concerts, would occasionally bring King to visit her friend Sun Ra, Af- rofuturism pioneer, in his Philadelphia home. Sun Ra became one of Kings’s greatest musical influences. After a couple of dancefloor hits on Strictly Rhythm and Ovum (co-founded with Josh Wink), King produced the albums When the Funk Hits the Fan, and Re-Members Only (featuring Grover Washington Jr., De La Soul, Kathy Sledge, and others). This laid the foundation for King’s music production, as his sonic interests grew, including a broad range of genres, emerging and preeminent artists, and distinctive record labels. King’s solo work and remixes became integral to the changing landscape of dance music. Josh One “Contemplation” (King Britt Funke Mix) has become an Ibiza anthem along with Gus Gus “David” (King Britt Scuba Mix) and H-Foundation “Tonight” (King Britt Scuba Mix). His various alias’, Sylk130, Saturn Never Sleeps (w Rucyl), Scuba, Nova Dream Sequence and others, express his many compositional moods. In 2006 director Michael Mann approached King to underscore several scenes for Miami Vice; King enthusias- tically accepted. This opportunity led to composing/licensing music for Rolex, HBO’s True Blood, Ava Duver- nay’s Queen Sugar, and others. continued on next page King’s newest, Fhloston Paradigm : “…a well-balanced marriage of the melodic expertise, emotion, and appetite for the unknown that live across his vast catalog. He does this without ego or exposition. He does it with a deft hand and a decent amount of vulnerability.” - Pitchfork Fhloston Paradigm is a sonic journey into sound design, synth manipulation and polyrhythmic primal energy. A perfect combination for movie scoring and exploration. Most recently, collaborated with the Alarm Will Sound Orchestra on three original pieces which will premier in May. Page 2.
