When a meeting of musical minds turns into magic, there's always an element of mystery. It was on tour back around 2008 when Eric Rachmany, Rebelution's vocalist/guitarist, met Amp Live, the renowned producer, DJ, and remixer (then of the hip hop duo Zion I). Something about their personalities and musical sensibilities clicked creatively. Out of that mystery, Unified Highway was born. The sound grew out of Eric's and Amp's different musical backgrounds. Eric calls it a unification of differences, a sound without a lot of boundaries. Amp says, "I want people to be vibed out and moving and dancing – but also to think."
