Record Kicks announces another unmissable Deep Funk Pack 3×1 CDs: Dojo Cuts “Dojo Cuts feat. Roxie Ray” CD + Third Coast Kings “Third Coast Kings” CD + The Diplomats of Solid Sound “What Goes Around Comes Around” CD (3xCDs for the price of 1)
In the pack: The explosive debut album from Sydney funk maestros DOJO CUTS. Everything is raw, live and loud in the world of Dojo Cuts – the tightest and hardest working band in the southern hemisphere to emerge in the last year – with no equals when it comes to unleashing their raucous rhythms and slices of soul whenever and wherever. The deepest grooves underpin their distinctive sound while the powerful vocals of Roxie Ray front and center turn up the heat and mercilessly knock you into next week. Influenced by giants of funk and soul through the ages, the aural assualt provided by Dojo Cuts is indisputably in the here and now, leading the charge Down Under in the unstoppable global funk resurgence. Featuring their brilliant debut single “1-2-3”, a red-hot version of Stevie Wonder’s “Uptight” and a string of originally penned cuts from the King Street Soul Dojo, this is a debut to savour. Buy this album, take it home and crank up the stereo – just make sure the roof is securely attached to the rest of your house. Bosco Man, Neal Sugarman, Russ Dewbury, Lanu and Craig Charles have already declared themselves fans of the band.
THIRD COAST KINGS introduced themselves to the world in 2010 with the release of critically acclaimed 45 “Give Me Your Love” / “Tonic Stride” on Record Kicks, and ever since then the buzz surrounding this up and coming deep funk and soul combo from Ann Arbor/Detroit has been steadily increasing. Having already enjoyed extended International radioplay and DJ support from the likes of Kenny Dope (Kay Dee), Craig Charles (Funk&Soul Show on BBC6) and Ian Wright, anticipation builds around the release of this band’s debut full-length. The Kings’ staple sharp-edged sound has been finely honed to a hard-grooving, rough and rugged musical mastery that never lets up, and their first album is no exception! With choppy guitar licks, horny horns, and badass beats, The Third Coast Kings provide all the right ingredients to make you shake that tail feather from here to next Winter. Their self-titled debut is a solid example of the kind of explosive sound this tight 8 piece produces, and from the first to the last track the groove is always super heavy and massively funky. Whether on gritty instrumental workouts such as “Case Quarter”, “Cop It Proper” and “Come On” or soulful vocal showpieces such as “Spicy Brown” and “Emcee Marie”, The Kings bring you nothing but the finest in proper funk and soul. Get down to the sound that will have you beggin’ for more, get down to The Third Coast Kings!
Completing the pack, The DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND “What Goes Around Comes Around” album. Once again mixed and edited by Freestyle’s boy wonder Adam Gibbons aka Lack Of Afro and featuring The Diplomettes on vocals, the cuts included here are a strong showcase of the growing maturity and sophistication of the group. From the sing-along chorus of opening track “B-O-O-G-A-L-O-O”, to the smooth soul number that gives the album its title, the uptempo “Back Off”, or the instrumental groover “Bailout”, “What Goes Around Comes Around” draws on a variety of styles but always keeping things soulful and funky. The vintage sound of The Diplomats has been fine-tuned by almost a decade of releases, and ever since their first album in 2001 the band has been making a name for itself by firmly establishing it’s credentials as one of the tightest contemporary soul outfits out there. The group can already count on the support of names such as Pete Isaac (Jelly Jazz), Mark Lamarr (BBC 2), Craig Charles (BBC 6), Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts), and Michael Ruetten (Compost Records), just to name a few, but with this last effort The Diplomats Of Solid Sound raise the stakes up a notch. Though the formula remains unchanged, there’s an added depth to the music, making this album a heavyweight must-have no matter how you listen to it!
