Navalle "Chops" Turner Takes a Bold New Step with WAMPTRONICA on "Grown Folks Party"

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - EntSun -- For decades, Navalle "Chops" Turner has been a regional legend, known for his soulful baritone, smooth phrasing, and commanding stage presence. A revered crooner of jazz standards and R&B classics, Turner has captivated audiences across the Northeast, earning comparisons to Jerry Butler, the "Iceman" of soul, with his ability to blend tenderness and power in every note. Now, he takes his timeless artistry into new sonic territory, teaming up with WAMPTRONICA to bring "Grown Folks Party" to life—a track fusing classic soul sensibilities with deep, hypnotic grooves of soulful and Afro house.

Released March 14 via Poly-Groove Records, "Grown Folks Party" marks a new era for Turner, proving his velvety delivery is just as at home in underground dance music as in jazz clubs and R&B revues. The track is already gaining traction internationally, with DJs across Europe, Africa, and the U.S. adding it to their sets.

Bringing Turner's expressive vocal style into house music was a challenge WAMPTRONICA embraced. The First Nations underground dance collective, known for deep house, Afro house, and jazz-inflected grooves, built a sound that elevates Turner's voice rather than overpowering it. Instead of heavy electronics, "Grown Folks Party" is rooted in warm instrumentation, pulsing bass, and lush harmonies, letting Turner's intimate delivery shine.

"We had to craft something that matched Chops' storytelling and vocal prowess, so we dug into classic soul arrangements, jazz harmonics, and house grooves that feel as natural to him as an R&B ballad," said Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor, producer, songwriter, and WAMPTRONICA co-founder. "I wrote 'Grown Folks Party' with that old-school elegance in mind—the kind of track that makes you want to step, groove, and lose yourself in the vibe."

With Full, Radio, and Deep mixes, "Grown Folks Party" is quickly becoming a go-to track in underground dance scenes. The chemistry between Turner and WAMPTRONICA is electric, and both hint this is just the beginning.
