It’s been time since BMD released any original fonky music so his having some Funky Chops a-sizzlin’ is well overdue and damn if he isn’t back with exactly that next week on his new label XLNT Records. The title track fries up a blistering syncopated drum intro after which rumbling bass, crybaby wah and keys pitch in till it’s like party time at the Bar-Kays house. Max Sugar strips everything back to a glitchy minimalism, Rory Hoy goes for thunderous big beat-isms and Warson provides floor-friendly party-breaks-isms. Phew, you’ll need to chill with a mint tea or something after that. Just as well BMD’s done a closer called Mint Tea with a space-funky head nod vibe, then.
(Out 17 March on XLNT Records)
