Double Vision

There is more than one artist under the name of Double Vision 1- Double Vision is a Spanish eurodance act consisting of Carol McCloskey and Pedro Cervero. They peaked at number one with the hit "Knockin" followed by "Allright". Double Vision's songs are usually harder, more happy hardcore influenced then by the classic eurodance. Under the name Doble Vicio, they had released a single entitled Sara in 1993. Double Vision released the album "Unsafe Building". 2- The world has two new musical genius's to the hip-hop throne, Johnathan (Mackamillion) and Jarred (Mr.Mackmore) aka, Double Vision (DV). Double Vision are twin brothers that have been compared to duos such as Kriss Kross, Camp Lo, Little Brother, Outkast and the recent chicago based duo The Cool Kids, for their impeccable style of dress code. "We like to set trends for what should and shouldn't be. We're not gangsters, we're more like a funky twist of backpackers and macks". Mackamillion says. With being born in a city with such artistic energy and cultural diversity (venice, CA), and then living in between cities throughout the mid-west and the south, it's no wonder these baby faced men have such old souls and insight. (which reflects in their music.) Rhyming since the tender age of 7, they first emerged as Reflection, later on changing their name to what is now known as Double Vision (DV). From there they hooked with long time partner Bill Blast aka Motion Plus as their main producer, who eventually hooked up with Jia Davis formerly of the infamous STL duo Bits N Pieces, who is also featured on their first studio album: NO EXPLANATION! When asked about their genre of music they so proudly claim as their own, Mr.Mackmore explains, "we speak for the men and women who seem to naturally attract the opposite sex without what some people call game or the use of pick up lines. As for the backpacker part, we're talking about those independent artist, Hip Hop purist and entrepreneurs who's got their own hustle, no matter what genre of music or business their involved in". Double Vision addresses the issues of the common folks, not the "iced out jewels" or drug dealer stories that our ears are currently saturated with. Double Vision represents the real issues we all go through. It's obvious these guys just want to bring the fun back into music. Sit back, relax and be prepared. Double Vision is solely interested and dedicated to making innovative and creative music."at the end of the day, we make music for those who actually have a brain", says Mackamillion. DV's latest release, the new Digital EP titled: Bifocal will be released on No Sleep Records, which is due to hit all digital music outlets in June 2010. The EP will include production from L.A. based up-and-coming producer Jansport J, (Curly Tops & Nautica Jackets Mixtape) Marcus D, (Revival of the Fittest) and Jeff "Stress" Davis(Gym Class Heroes "As Cruel As School Children" ("Clothes Off!" STRESS Remix). NSR welcomes Double Vision to the No Sleep family, as they are the first Hip-Hop act to sign with No Sleep Records. 3 - Double Vision were a one off collaboration between Danny Weiss & Mike Edwards, both established Disco Funk producers in the eighties.
