December 25, 2023: For this edition of PSYCHOTIC BUMP SCHOOL, DJ ROME hosts a celebration of life for a multi-generational musical icon whose influence spans decades, across genres, & all over the planet.
Joseph Anthony "Amp" Fiddler (May 17, 1958 – December 18, 2023), the Detroit musician known for melding funk, soul and electronic, has passed away at 65. According to a post on his Instagram account, he died after “an extensive and noble battle with cancer.”
Helping ROME to pay tribute are musician, DJ, producer, orchestral arranger/conductor out of Detroit PIRAHNAHEAD, author, educator, motivational speaker & former keyboardist for Barry White CHARYN HARRIS, & music marketing entrepreneur & founder of Fusicology ASYA SHEIN-ALEXANDER-both out of California.
Known largely as the mentor & teacher of the late great hip-hop producer JAMES "J-DILLA" YANCEY, AMP's body of work in the worlds of Soul,Funk,R&B, DeepHouse, & yes Pop, is full of seamless genre-blending sonic escapades that characterized his relentless commitment to faithfully defy creative norms. Tune in and listen out for some of AMP's most recognizable work that some may have never attributed to him a'la MAXWELL, GEORGE CLINTON, classic R&B group ENCHANTMENT, LEON WARE, and his piano work on the Grammy Award winning Song & Record of the Year "Kiss From A Rose" by SEAL.
Great discussion, lots of music, an incredible life-so press PLAY & SHARE with your friends.
