The year is 1979, and five young guys are jamming in a Hispanic neighborhood in downtown Manhattan. The vocalist of this group is Salvatore Principato. By day, he works in a toy store with Kim Gordon. By night, he’s dropping his vocal inflections onto the rhythms of his group, who go by the name Liquid Liquid. As we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, their own brand of “body music” began to be heard alongside bands such as Suicide and ESG while also finding a way into the pioneering sets of DJs like Afrika Bambaataa and Larry Levan. Ultimately, one of their songs became the instantly recognizable sample for Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious 5's “White Lines,” forever putting Liquid Liquid's name in the hip-hop history books.
