MAAD SOUL is an amazing combination of percussion, trumpet, saxophone and electric violin performing live with up-tempo Chicago House DJs creating a very sexy and soulful House vibe with Latin and jazz influences. The show brings an enormous amount of energy to any setting by combining Chicago House with live musicians.
Led by Chicago percussionist and founder Louie-Louie, MAAD SOUL has quickly become the future of club music. Live instrumentalists improvising to whatever sounds are thrown their way. This fusion of Acid Jazz, House, and Deep house music throws the audience into a trance which can’t be denied no matter how hard they try! The crowd notices something different from the first sound of the percussion groove through Latin & African inspired rhythms.
DJ David Sabat does what most DJ’s are afraid of doing….allowing the rhythm to groove you. He also gives the musicians what they need to improvise…. substance! The crowd’s senses become overwhelmed from the first time they hear the blistering yet harmonic sounds of Micha Frazier’s trumpet & from the outright ferociousness of Tommy Bradford’s saxophone. There is no logical explanation for what these performers do with dance music, only the feeling that it’s right, that this is what it’s supposed to sound like. The feeling of this musical expression of love & passion can only be summed up in two words: MAAD SOUL!
MAAD SOUL consists of Percussionist Louie-Louie, Trumpeter Micah Frazier, Saxophonist Tommy Bradford, and features DJ David Sabat. Madd Soul has performed at The Winter Music Conference in Miami and all over Chicago including the W Hotels, The Chicago Latino Network, Cuatro, Morseland, The Peninsula Hotel, The Victor Hotel, and Rios D’Sud America just to name a few. MADD SOUL’s popularity is growing daily and has become in high demand. Their performances have been raved about by everyone who experiences it.
Testimonials: “The first time I experienced MAAD SOUL, it gave me chills. The ability to see the source of the music that you are hearing right before your eyes is a whole different experience because it’s impromptu and unrehearsed. The marriage of a great DJ and great musicians create an organic experience, just like a jam session at a small club or a studio session, while still maintaining the underground house flavor!” – Steve “Silk” Hurley (4 time Grammy nominated DJ and producer)
