**NYC’s Loud Apartment presents ‘Technology’, first offering from Bill Laswell-produced‘
New Future’ LP**

_“A proper and much-welcome dose of sanguinity much needed… highly vibrant sonic
excellence that expounds the human possibility for expansion and evolution” ~ _**
Big Takeover Magazine**

_“Music with a conscience… Here amongst the loose funk grooves, jazz infused improvisations,
the soul sass and the reggae rhythms there is a whole manifesto”_ ~ **Second Scene
Magazine**

_“Worthy of your time and thought-space… music that will have you grooving and missing
NYC’s bohemian fusion scene, even if you’ve never experienced it first hand” _~ **
The Noise Journal**

_“Quasi mesh of funk and beat combine in a glorious mix of original indie… quiet
thunder that gently strikes in your head enough to resonate and reverberate. This
is a revolution”_ ~ **Jammerzine**

_“Flowing funk from the streets of New York City… There’s so much soul in there,
do much flow, so much “now”, so much everything and all pin-point right, so full
of beauty”_ ~ **The Organ Magazine**

_“A groove-filled exploration of the power of music to bring everyone together and
remind us of what is important, along with society’s mishaps… perhaps the most democratic
human-spirit loving song about technology itself”_ ~ **Amplify Music Magazine**

NYC-based funk art collective [**Loud Apartment**](https://loudapartment.com/) are
gearing up for their[** ‘New Future’ album**](https://loudapartment.bandcamp.com/album/new-future),
their third long-player, produced by legendary bassist / producer [**Bill Laswell**](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-laswell-mn0000075979/discography)
and also featuring a guest performance by [**Garrison Hawk**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5n0yIwJQbkweWXaSi1MGVu),
long-term collaborator of **Tricky** and **Sly & Robbie**, among other notable artists.
Ahead of that, Loud Apartment presents the lead track** **[**‘Technology’**](https://loudapartment.bandcamp.com/track/technology).

This new album presents the sound of New York Fusion – a blend of sounds that have
Funk as a core ingredient. Largely influenced by music from the ’70s and early ’
80s, this is actually a modern sound that pays respect to the music of New York.
For this release, Bill Laswell created three Dub mixes from the tracks, which were
designed as the second side of the vinyl pressing. These mixes create a sonic landscape
reflecting on the themes of ‘Technology’, ‘Rebellion’ and ‘Rhythm and Rhyme’.

“The album looks to the future with hope but not in a naive way. There’s a lot of
trouble in the world right now especially with regards to the environment and human
rights. It’s an urgent plea for radical change and a different world. A new future,”
says **Nevaris A.C.**

“As the lyrics read, “technological revolution can bring solutions / innovation 
creation no degradation no pollution / too much exploitation from the governments
and corporations / privacy invasion intrusion and manipulation”. 

Formed by musician and technologist** Nevaris A.C. **(voice, percussion, keyboards),
the band’s current lineup also includes **Bill Laswell **on bass, turntablist **
DJ Logic**, multi-instrumentalist **Peter Apfelbaum** (flute/sax), guitarist **Will
Bernard** and drummer **Lockatron**.
This new release follows the band’s aptly titled
[ **‘System Breakdown’ LP,**](https://loudapartment.bandcamp.com/album/system-breakdown)
also produced by Bill Laswell and created at **Orange Music** in West Orange, New
Jersey.

The band debuted in 2012 with their[** ‘Get Up Get Down’ LP**](https://loudapartment.bandcamp.com/album/get-up-get-down-3),
mixed by Bill Laswell and featuring [**Bernie Worrell**](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/bernie-worrell-mn0000059503)**(
P-Funk, Talking Heads)**, who also appeared with them for live performances at Galapagos
Art Space, Drom, and Public Assembly in NYC.

In 2019, Nevaris approached Bill Laswell about working with him and drummer Lockatron
on new material. From the first time playing together in the studio the new project
took off.

Their unique NYC fusion of funk, soul and rock with Latin, reggae, dub and hip hop
influences is inspired by growing up on the old upper west side. Influenced by such
artists as Parliament-Funkadelic, Miles Davis, Santana, Gil Scott Heron, Mongo Santamaria
and Ray Barretto, their sound embodies the intersection of culture that is New York
City, loose enough to give room for improvisation and extended grooves. 

As of November 10, ‘Technology’ will be available via [**Bandcamp**](https://loudapartment.bandcamp.com/)
and is also being offered as an instant grat download upon ordering the full ‘New
Future’ album. On December 10, this long-player will be released digitally across
platforms such as [**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/35agCFwnA3mZzpwhy0f90j)
and [**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/us/album/system-breakdown/1536552129)**.**
