Stones Throw’s newest star artist Dam Funk has earned status as the “ambassador of boogie funk,” and his second teaser from his proper 2009 debut is volume 4 of the popular “Rhythm Trax” series. Dam’s expert use of analog synths and old school drum machines with a modern dancefloor aesthetic makes him one of the most exciting artists around. 8 brand new tracks in one of James Pants’ signature hand-drawn jackets… Get it on Rushhour.

32 track CD, ram jam packed with rather splendid sideways beats! Awesome artwork too, all wrapped up in beautiful a screenprinted cardboard sleeve (lots of colour variations)…crazy limited. Def for fans of Samiyam and the more out-there beats shit.

Francis bakes his beats by the dozen. Both his previous efforts on Carte Postale were filed under the Kingfisherg moniker – which leads me to believe that Francis skived spelling in primary. This is his first as Cupp Cave. His Garbage Pail Beats are a rump-shaking, head-nodding, feet-shuffling slap in the face, one for the crate-diggers and glitch-lovers. Think nice crunchy gravel. Think big, red, 8-bit family sedan. Think wearing sunglasses sitting in the passenger seat with the window open. Think sunshine. Thump, thump, clap; Cupp Cave is guaranteed Hennessy-free. Get it on Rushhour.
