THE DREAMER - Shortee
Released September 1999
Double Vinyl & CD
Catalog # : BHH2042

Shortee's debut solo release "The Dreamer" was the first ever female turntablist/DJ/producer full length album, making it a first of it's kind! Listen to this album and you're guaranteed to hear an assortment of funky beats with fat bass kicks, jazzy bass lines, pianos, trumpets, flutes, soulful scratches, tons of percussion and so much more. Shortee used her music to guide the listener through the story of her dreams as she conducts a sleep research experiment. In the story, the dreamer's brain waves emit sound waves as she dreams. The album represents a recording of this experiment. Each song symbolizes a dream and each dream is different - ranging in hip-hop, dub, drum n' bass, go-go and swing.
