FUNTOWN

NAD return to Funtown for another double pack of heavy hitting splices. From the low-slung disco-funk of opener "Riding High" to the slap-bass-driven, horn blasted funk stomp of "Afro Kissed" and back through the early hip-hop-disco meets Brit funk jive of (the very appropriately named) "Skate Groove", and the mellowed Rhodes jam, "Make It Right", which sounds like it's been recorded in the palm-shaded balmy confines of a tropical paradise. It's a right royal set throughout which our Idjut edit supremo delivers with his usual stylish finesse. Unmissable! 

TRACK LISTING

A. Riding High
B1. Make it Right Tonight

D. Love Downer

Funtown's back with more top drawer edits. Been a while since anyone's tackle the mighty "Love Can Turn Around", so nice to see Funtown roll it out in all its pomp here. Then, keeping things ultra high grade; we get a tweak of THE proto-Chicago acid track - Kikrokos' "Life Is A Jungle" - later used by Risque III on "Risque Madness" - proper history!!

Ambitious and brave, executed with aplomb. Full marks Funtown!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Funtown get maximum pigeon points this week for utilizing that revolutionary 16 bars off "Life Is A Jungle". One of the key moments that would lead on to create the prototypes of Chicago warehouse music.

TRACK LISTING

A. Turnaround
B. Jungle Rumble
