Supposedly, the apocalypse will be rung in with horns.
But they won’t be horns like this, unless the rapture is truly rapturous. The 2010s showcased Moon Hooch’s evolution from studious Jazz disciples to rave-inducing dance barons. Using a “reverse DJ” set up, they filter their saxes, vocoders and another set of mad brass weapons that would make Cannonball Adderley smile, through Ableton, playing EDM with Jazz instruments.
And that crazed euphoria has translated well in their live shows and songs. At their best, Moon Hooch create a hallucinatory, out of body experience. So, listen to our interview with them, read our blurb on their break through single “Number 9” and see why they’re the best of the 10s.
