Get into the groove
@Street Text:I try to make it funky," Philadelphia singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Mike Brenner tells Street over a cup of coffee in Old City. "It always has to do with a groove, based around my steel guitar. Anything else after that is icing." He's referring to his current musical project, Slo-Mo, which can best be described as an amalgamation of blues, bluegrass and -- here's where the groove comes in -- drum 'n' bass. "I don't know if it's dance music," Brenner says, "but it's supposed to be kind of physical. It's not really acoustic music, and it's pretty loud."
