In 1998
The Angel created a second artist identity, 60 Channels, as an electronic and experimental project. This gave her room to step outside of the leftfield urban world she has recorded in since '93 when she first arrived in LA, having signed to Delicious Vinyl.
Originally from Brooklyn then living in London, The Angel blends a host of flavors, influenced by the various places she has lived in. 60 Channels gave her the freedom to expand her sound to incorporate drum 'n bass, dub, hip hop and alternative flavors into the production. To match the musical diversity, Angel worked with an ecletic group of vocalists, like Angie Hart (Frente), Monday Michiru, Navigator (The Freestylers, Asian Dub Foundation), DJ Collage, Rain Phoenix (Papercranes), Karen Grant, Cokni O'Dire and Tre Hardson (The Pharcyde). These vocalists all have a strong identity in their individual genres and this project gave them another platform to expand upon.
In '96 The Angel joined forces with Bristol's More Rockers to form Jaz Klash and to record an early jazzy jungle album called "Thru The Haze". They dj'd together in Toronto and at the Montreal Jazz Festival in '98.
60 Channels has recorded two albums, starting with the 1998 album, "Tuned In Turned On," along with a 1999 EP,"Give Me Your Love" followed by the 2004 album, "Covert Movements," and numerous 12's with remixes by E-Sassin, Vinyl Syndicate, Deep Rooted (Roots), More Rockers and a collaborative remix by Origin, Sklyer Mic and UFO! These remixes can found on "The Angel presents: Supa Crucial Drum 'n Bass Remixes Vol 1".
New first quarter 2009 releases include "Counter Evolution (The Angel Remix)", Scorched Earth (Earthstar Mix)" and "Covert Movements (Instrumentals)" album...
