DPS Feature – Mark Stein of Vanilla Fudge

Mark Stein

Mark Stein of Vanilla Fudge

A while back we reported on our work in the studio with rock legend, Mark Stein.  Just recently he was gracious enough to allow us to add one of his songs to our DPS demo player on dpsplugin.com.  This song, Break It Down, was created for the documentary Rockin the Wall and was recorded at our very own Power Station Studios in Pompano Beach, FL. (It will be added to our player on the plug-in site very soon.)  You can purchase the other songs from this recording session as well as Mark’s other solo work at his online store.   If you appreciate good solid rock and roll with powerful singing and soaring melodies you will find his work a real treat!

He and the rest of the Vanilla Fudge crew are also getting ready to go on tour in the North East culminating in 3 appearances at Zep Fest 2011 in Washington DC.  Visit Mark Stein.com for more tour details.

Recording Vanilla Fudge Vocalist Mark Stein at Power Station Studios

For the past two weeks I’ve had the honor of working with one of music’s greats, Mark Stein. His group, Vanilla Fudge, made history with their version of the Supremes song “You Keep Me Hanging On”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanilla_Fudge

Recording Mark and his group in the studio makes me realize how folks like him became music icons: Every note that comes out of his body is pure rock and roll dynamite! Energy, optimism and professionalism are ever present during the sessions, and that has translated into a truly great recording!
