elevado earned a grammy award in 2000 for his work recording and mixing contemporary r&b recording artist d'angelo's critically acclaimed album "voodoo". "voodoo" is now considered a classic album in the contemporary r&b genre and paved the way for the neo soul movement. elevado's "old school" engineering techniques and preference for using mostly vintage equipment gave the album a sound reminiscent of classic soul or funk records fused with hip-hop textures and psychedelic treatments heard on classic 1960s and 1970s rock records.
