Chin Chin, formed in 2001 by Torbitt and Wilder Schwartz - joined soon after by Atlanta Georgia bred Jeremy Wilms- was originally intended to improvise back-up music for singers and MC’s at a monthly party in Brooklyn. Realizing a greater potential, the brothers started writing music. With songs in place, they began recruiting musicians from the fertile Williamsburg scene. Combining elements of jazz, funk, disco, contemporary R&B, rock, and electro, with smart lyrics, powerful horn arrangements, great showmanship, and a taste for partying, Chin Chin have synthesized the quintessential elements of such dance floor heroes as Brass Construction, Ohio Players, and Roger Troutman, while presenting something decidedly new – think Plantlife /Hot Chip. As a live unit, Chin Chin can range from the streamlined quartet to a thunderous ten-piece ensemble. A typical Chin Chin show will quickly evolve into a contagious dance party, the audience responding at once to their incendiary musicianship and charisma. Time OUT NY aptly summed this phenomenon up when they said that Chin Chin were “tighter than your boss with a raise.” No surprise they were featured in the august 2004 FADER magazine as a band to watch out for. In New York as well as Europe they have shared the stage with TV On The Radio, Antibalas afro beat ensemble, Gogol Bordello, Sufjan Stevens, Lily Allen, ESG, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Theo Parrish, DJ Spinna, Doctor Dog, the Rogers Sisters, and VHS or Beta. TOOT D’AMORE is one of those infectious horns and bass-driven funk numbers that should be played at maximum volume in all discerning clubs. It will certainly get your crowd in a joyous trance. On remix duty we have Prins Thomas, not only a fantastic DJ, but also a master of the remix. His “Diskomiks” feels like a mighty Santana jam tailored for a modern-day Loft, and his “Bogus Bonus” is one of these hypno afro-disco-dub delights that will please any devoted Idjut Boys and Bear Entertainment fans !
