What people are saying about "Doityourselfincrimination":
"In general, I love the whole CD. It's not boring and it makes
you think!!!
Good one Mike, Proud to know you."
- Bernie Worrell - Founding Member of
Parliament/Funkadelic
"Old school butt-winding funk with a nastiness that would've
made Bootsy scream 'DAY-AM!!!' - that's the essence of the Mike
Theiss stee-lo. Spleen-melting analog bass, horny horns, head-snapping
beats, and tighter-than-a-hamster's-butt production are the hallmarks
of "Doityourselfincrimination" Dig it once, and you'll
have a difficult as hell time keeping his tunes out of your player,
Pod, or head!"
- Rafe Gomez - Radio/Club D.J. - The
Groove Boutique/NYC
"The title's a bit hard to fathom, but the grooves here are
very straight ahead -- tight jazz funk of a style that's heavy in
60s and 70s soul jazz influences -- but which comes off with a slightly
more modern touch! Mike Theiss plays all instruments here himself
-- including organ, keyboards, and plenty of sax -- all in a recreation
of older soulful modes, but with a bit of a contemporary twist to
the production. Given that the record's a one-man affair, the sound
is really quite strong -- and you can hardly spot the difference
between Mike's work here on all instruments, and the often weaker
sounds of a full band doing it together! If we had to pick a sort
of style here, we'd almost line Mike's sound up with that of Ron
Levy's recent albums -- slightly slick jazz funk, but still plenty
darn nice!"
