 With the excitement of a bouncing piano groove, "Electrified Feeling" by Japanese trio Bennetrhodes aims to inspire with a positive and uplifting mood in the sound of contemporary Jazz/Funk fusion. This beautiful composition combines the mellow Jazz/Funk fusion production vibe of the Mizell Bros. with the rhythm of Hip Hop for a dose of musical escapism.

"Sun Ya" defines the meaning of "groove" as Bennetrhodes craft uplifting music based on an electrified fusion of Funk, Jazz and Hip Hop. Each track relies heavily upon it's own distinct rhythm as the foremost element, drawing inspiration from 80's boogie, Jazz and occasionally J-Dilla's signature drumming influence. Combine that with traditional musical elements as pianist Kan Sano displays his talent on the keys throughout each track and you get one of the most ambitious presentations of fusion music in 2012. From the first listen, it's evident these guys are inspired by the funkiest elements of music and present a unique, futuristic sound to make you move.
