High Park Funk - Sundae / Subtle Groove (2018)

 


A. Sundae
B. Subtle Groove

!Bang!


High Park Funk comes with all the freaky fix-ins... a sultry sampler from his cassette on Outrun Records. Beginning with Sundae, we part through satin sheets, and witness a vibe softer than soft serve, putting you in some kind of mood with a funky R&B flavor. Sundae is a silky lullaby with a bassline and synth lick that just won’t quit.

A certain smoothness from the A side reverberates on side B’s Subtle Groove, but with the tempo pushed a tad higher. The pads are meditative, and bring forward whatever emotions one feels in the eye of a summer storm, but its the bass line, again the star, that’s so satisfyingly sticky one can’t help but bob their head - subtly or otherwise.

XL Middleton - G​-​Funk Vibes Vol. 2 (2018)

 

!Bang!

Often written off as a forgettable chapter in hip hop’s past, G-Funk was an undeniable factor in cementing rap as a musical force to be reckoned with. It borrowed from Bernie Worrell’s synth lines and 70’s funk breaks as much as it did from sleeker 80’s boogie productions from Mtume, One Way, Zapp, and many others.

XL Middleton aims to bridge the gap between this and today’s modern funk with G-Funk Vibes Vol. 2, brought to you by MoFunk via XL's Cavi Sounds imprint.

The aim is to give you that same feeling you get from modern funk - sunshine and synthesizers via selections culled from XL’s personal vinyl stash. The tracks range from overlooked major label remixes to obscure private pressings. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a sunny Sunday afternoon and a cold brew - or just imagining you have both.
