Moon Hooch- Number 9

Moon Hooch is a Brooklyn-based trio consisting of 2 Saxophonists and 1 drummer. The three musicians met and created the band while attending the New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music in 2010. Their sound combines a mix of instrumental jazz, jam dance music, and edgy rock. Moon Hooch announced themselves as a new genre that they like to call "cave music."

"Number 9" is the first track off of their self-titled debut album released in 2013, in which 10 of the 14 tracks are nameless (Number x), numbers in neither ascending or descending order. "Number 9" begins with the voice generated NYC subway alert that the train is arriving:
                       

 "Ladies and gentleman, the next L train is now arriving on the 

Manhattan-bound track. Please stand away from the platform edge"

It is interesting they decided to sample this since before the release of their first album they got their start as street performers commonly found in front of the Met or down in the NYC subway stations (meaning this repetitive phrase was engrained in their heads even more than your typical New Yorker). The track is an a catchy, energetic brassy tune with a dynamic percussion. Its exciting and textured and it makes me want to dance!

Happy listening :)
