It would be fair to call Quetzal a typical vinyl
junkie; born and raised on the sounds of classic
soul and jazz, by the early 90's he had discovered
a love of hip hop culture, through the New York
scene. It was this music and a fascination with
processes used to create it, which gave Quetzal the
drive to become a producer. Sample based music and
crate digging were the flavour, and by 2003
producing had become the focus of his career
'Vision' follows on from the hugely popular Onra &
Quetzal joint drop ' Present Tribute'. Onra's
follow up to this was the massive 'Chinoiseries'
album, merging instrumental hip hop and obscure
Vietnamese pop samples (leading to one track being
lifted and reinterpreted for the Coka-Cola Beijing
Olympics ad campaign!) Now it is Quetzal's turn to
blow up, with his own long player 'Vision'
'Vision' explores a world of smooth grooves
combined with more rootsy musical elements; 70's
Latin, Caribbean and Jamaican styles are clearly
present, all seamlessly melded with more hip-hop
and soul flavours. This is a nomadic sound
Quetzal is clearly a well travelled individual, and
listening to 'Vision' feels like a journey through
several diverse places. This is one for the beat
journeymen and fans of Dusted Soul grooves and Tru
Thoughts alike. 'Vision' also features guest vocals
from Marie M, The Outabodies and Dye. While working
on "Vison", his forthcoming new album just started
in 2007,Quetzal produced three tracks featured in
the Boulangerie compilation, by the Fine Equipe. He
is currently also working with many other diverse
artists such as Dye, Leck Lips, Marie M, Nicolas
Coyez, The Outabodies, Doods Mc, Enz, Mil, Fave
