• It's that Detroit Shit...

Dam Funk* - Toeachizown - 21-Nov-09 01:08 AM
Refreshingly funkalicious robot funk from the funkiest person out there doing it right now, Dam Funk. This album has no loops, no samples, everything is played live, think George Clinton vs S.O.S. Band vs Juan Atkins vs Slave vs Egyptian Lover, it truly brings you back to the days of old. Dont worry now, even though its as good as the electronic music of times long gone and produced with the classic machines we all know and love, it still sounds as 2009 as it can get. Album of the year without a doubt and meant for those who know.

24-Carat Black, The* - Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth - 10-May-09 05:19 AM
A true Masterpiece composed by Dale Warren, a classically trained arranger and conductor from Detroit. Soulful grooves effortlessy blending with funky jams, gospel, spoken word and piano solos. With these flawless arrangements its no wonder this lp has become of the most sampled albums of all time, to name just a few: Naughty by Nature, Jay-Z, Nas, Eric B and Rakim, Jill Scott, Keith Murray, Digable Planets, Leaders of the New School, The RZA, the list goes on and on.

The Sufferings of The Innercity put to wax. Listen and Feel the Pain. This is Povertys Paradise.

The A1 of this EP has to be one of the most beautiful electronic tracks ever put to wax. One will call it House, the other will call it Techno. Who cares all you insidetheboxthinkingpeople? Its electronic music with soul. Anyone who thinks machines cannot convey any sort of emotion to its listeners, only need to listen to the melody in this song. Shivers down your spine! You know what? This is probably Heavens themesong. God/Allah/Jah/Jehova/Shiva hitted the repeatbutton after hearing this one, so that we, the dead ladies and gentlemen of this planet earth, can enjoy it forever and ever and ever and ever for all infinity to come.

Discogs claims this EP contains two songs. Thats an outright lie!

On the one hand we have Moodymanns mix which is, well, pure magic, basically sweaty dancefloor filling machinegunfunk. The usual quality one would expect from the genius that is Kenny Dixon Jr.

The other side of this ep however contains a totally useless, dull, formulaic, flat, wannabe everything its not, unemotive, funkless and most of all soulless attempt at "making" music. One for the Berlin fanboys me thinks. Skip it alltogether, trust me on this.

The samples Moodymann uses in his mix sum up perfectly whats wrong with the house and technosounds of today: "They dont sing like that no more. Music, music. There is no soul no more."

"I don’t make music for the masses to dance to, i make music for the small majority that listens."
