MORLACK: Where Do You Get Your Funk From (2011) + Free downloads
I like Morlack’s release titles. Last time he was ‘taking it to the zulu’ - this time he wants to know where we get our funk from. Er – hang on Morlack – I’ll do the questions – where do you get yours from? Your cover would suggest Betty Davis with bigger guns…what’s that? Seventies P-funk - uh-huh - Tone Loc, yup, The Red Hot Chili Peppers – I see and…INXS. Really? Oh, I get you…guilty pleasures and all that.

Mr Sedgely comes through with a big tune here, rich in nu-disco stylings, a fat synth bassline and diva vocals courtesy of Tasita D’Amour. Not really the monkey’s kind of thing, admittedly, but you’d have to be deaf not to recognise it as dancefloor catnip and the ladies’ choice. Remix duties come courtesy of Ghettofunk don Basement Freaks who emphasises the break and electronic disco heads Faze Action who do something nasty and house-y – the original cut is still the best though. One to pull out of your bag (or, increasingly, your laptop) if your funk 45s/ hip-hop 12”s night inexplicably pulls in a couple of hen parties and a crowd who wanted something ‘a bit more Ibiza mate.’ We’ve all been there……READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
