Mikki Afflick of Soul Sun Soul Music presents AV

I am very proud to introduce Soul Sun Soul Music’s first artist to the label. He goes by the name of AV. He has a long history in the music business, but he is new to the deep house music. Music runs deep his soul and he feels what he does. As the executive producer, I wanted AV to introduce his audience to both of his worlds, being German born and Nigerian raised, and to carry them on a musical journey through his EP. Hence, Naija is his first EP on Soul Sun Soul Music.

Eshelon is a journey in flight, carrying you via Deep Trance House to Nigeria, his native land. The bass line and percussions are the signature sound that will define Soul Sun Soul Music, and AV’s style.

Naija the title track is a slang word in Nigerian, as a term of endearment, for greeting each other.
This deep, dark, yet sexy track captures the very essence of Deep Afro-Tek at it’s finest.

Kayman has you feeling as though you are on a dance safari, in the deep jungles of Nigeria.
-Mikki Afflick

AV bio:
A native Nigerian, AV is an American producer, who was born in Munich, Raised in Lagos, and moved to the US in 1988, setting an early backdrop for an international career. An avid and talented percussionist, AV started playing drums at 16, quickly finding himself in a live trip hop band “Tribe of Zoë. From there, AV’s enthusiasm for beats and electronica lead him back to Europe, where he DJ’ed in Austria at the renowned Park House Cafe. Restless for new influences and wanting to get back to live music, he went on to Prague, where he became a featured drummer and a programmer/producer for the band Aftermath db. During his stint in Prague, AV pursued an apprenticeship for sound track work with European Grammy winner Colin Stuart. A quick study, he soon found himself mastering audio engineering & mastering, production, and sound design, and forming a commercial scoring business called The Lab. While scoring television spots, small videos and films, AV also helped to form the down tempo electronica band Maguro that performed throughou!
t the Czech Republic, Germany & Austria. Moving to NYC in 2003, AV’s audio re-mastering, freelance sound engineering, and electronic music production work and classes were all much in demand, and earned him accolades from bands and critics alike. The formation of the band Ultrafine soon followed with AV playing keyboards, programming, producing, mixing & mastering all of Ultrafine’s work. AV continues to live in New York City working as a solo artist with Soul Sun Soul Music and keyboardist/programmer/producer with Ultrafine.

The support of this project has been unbelievable, with great reviews by some of house music biggest DJ & Producers. We would like to thank all of the Dj’s in support of this project.
