Redefining the possibilities of modern music, Russ Liquid fuses the raw vitality of classic funk and the inventive sound design of electronic production. Songwriter/producer and renowned brass specialist Russell Scott heads up the New Orleans-based project. A kinetic energy infuses Russ’ music, giving way to a mixture of funk/jazz/electro. Russ Liquid evokes a kaleidoscope of textures, senses, and moods and is is an improv-driven musicality at the heart. Russ Liquid is continually putting out new music and have quite a few releases up his sleeve, and creates a joyful sense of synergy in his high-powered live shows, with recent appearances including Shambhala Music Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Summer Camp, and Sonic Bloom, among others. No matter the setting, a clear multidimensionality can always be heard in his projects. “I want to make people feel good but also give them something to reflect with,” says Scott. “It’s not about just making party music or music that’s more introspective—it’s for the full gamut of human expression, and I want it to be just as dynamic as life itself.”
