About this item

Kay-Dee Records is coming at you with a 45 double-hitter, presenting Bert Hector’s ‘The Phoenix’ and ‘The Kraken’ with Kenny Dope on remix duties.

On the first record, we’re treated to ‘The Phoenix’: a sure-fire funk gem with a super warm sound. The beat is as cool as it gets, with a laid-back and funky attitude, sitting beneath a joyous intermingling of sitar, flute, brass and guitar - all performed at expert levels.

‘The Kraken’ has a killer groove, struttin’ along at 85 bpm with a real old-school sound on the beat. Joining the breaks is a huge brass section which pumps loud, while flute solos and funky Wah-wah guitar chops take things up a notch. This is a pure, unadulterated groove. 

Both tracks are recorded juicy, fat and well into the red - making the vinyl snap, thud and crack in all the right places! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Swagger and soul combine on this street-ready breakbeat funk double pack from Bert Hector. Just listen to those drums! Sure to be sampled, cut and scratched by all the old school heads doing their thing...
