King Britt

King Britt Growing up in southwest Philadelphia, house DJ/producer King Britt began buying records at the age of seven and gradually amassed a collection of over 10,000 singles. While attending Temple University, he began producing his own tracks and met Ishmael Butler (aka Butterfly) who introduced Britt to his jazz-rap group, the Digable Planets. Acquiring the nickname Silkworm, he toured with the Digable Planets for more than two years. He later met Josh Wink and the duo began tooling around in the studio and the result ended up being a worldwide dance hit, 1993’s “Tribal Confusion.” Britt and Wink formed their own label, Ovum Recordings, and worked on production as well as remixing for artists including Tori Amos, Donna Lewis, Solsonics, and Mary Wilson. A soundtrack fan without the money to make a feature film, he decided to record the music for a fake movie, enlisting hometown talent -- dubbed the Sylk 130 collective -- including legendary bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, drummer Darryl Burgee, keyboardist James Poiser, vocalist Alison Crockette, poet Ursula Rucker, rapper Tony "Capital A" Green, and guitarist Monnette Sudler. When the Funk Hits the Fan was released on Ovum/Sony in 1998 and was followed by The Remixes one year later. The new millennium, however, featured another musical jaunt for King Britt's Sylk 130. Re-Members Only, issued in March 2001, showcased classic funk/soul grooves as well as collaborations with ABC's Martin Frye, De La Soul, and Alison Moyet of Yaz. Britt's first solo production album, Adventures in Lo-Fi, followed in 2003 on BBE, and he put together a mix album for Chicago's Park Hyatt hotel in 2004. He remained busy as ever beyond these releases, developing artists on his label and handling dozens of remix jobs.
