Fulfilling the promise of singles Pigeon Pit and Lazy Breeze, here’s the full Lex On The Beach EP release from Lexsoul Dancemachine. And it’s homage to 80s funk and yacht rock is so full-on you can practically feel the wind ruffling your blond-tipped mullet. Hang on something’s out of place!

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Lex On The Beach EP
LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Lazy Breeze
Billed as ‘Balearic funk,’ the new single from Estonian funk beasts Lexsoul Dancemachine is entitled Lazy Breeze and appears to be the sequel to April single Pigeon Pit which resurrected the ‘yacht soul’ slow-jam from the 80s. But why draw such a conclusion, when the last one was billed as being by the band’s alter-ego Lexsoul? Let’s consider the evidence. One, the PR for this says it

LEXSOUL: Pigeon Pit
Do you hanker for those now mythical 80s summers when as far as the pop charts were concerned, music had more or less died and its replacement was sunning itself aboard the cabin roof of some ridiculously coiffeured, coke-snorting proto yuppie’s catamaran? If so, Lexsoul (a.k.a. Estonian funk commandos Lexsoul Dancemachine) have sorted you right out with Pigeon Pit – a

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Pump Up The Jam
Estonian funk outfit Lexsoul Dancemachine are known for their blistering live shows so it was only natural that for their first ever cover, they would choose Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic. What?! Pump Up The Jam?!!! The cheesy, 1989, Euro-hip-house, world-wide hit, Pump Up The Jam? ‘Pump up the jam, Pump it up, While your feet are stomping’ Pump Up The Jam? That Pump Up The

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: ‘Carambola Jelly’ video
Stand by for the Ugandan-Estonian funky disco-cinematic team-up that is ‘Ugandan Tarantino’ Nabwana I.G.G.’s new video for Lexsoul Dancemachine’s Lexplosion II LP track, Carambola Jelly. Carambola, is of course also known as ‘the star fruit’ and makes an early appearance in the video’s short tale of urban gangsterism with a ‘wife’ beginning to prepare

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Lexplosion II
When they first burst onto the contemporary funk scene with Deus Lex Machina in 2016, Estonian outfit Lexsoul Dancemachine offered a funky vision that combined 70s funk rhythms and 60s beat guitar while their second LP was the rather different Con Funk Shun-esque disco funky blend of Sunny Holiday In Lexico. LP number three, Lexplosion II offers something different again

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE (feat. CORY WONG): Money
Estonian funk commandos Lexsoul Dancemachine find time to squeeze out one more single before the imminent release of third LP, Lexplosion II and it’s this one – Money. Ploughing an eighties funky furrow, the track makes the vaguest of hat-tips to Prince (among others) and somewhere after the bridge – about the time you’re thinking maybe the song is about to wrap

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Entertainment + video
Bringing the laid-back boogie-funk on the second single from their forthcoming Lexplosion II album are Lexsoul Dancemachine with Entertainment. And entertainment is something they know a thing or two about with seven years and two previous albums under their belt. It’s not just a studio thing either; the monkey has watched this band fill a floor with people who previously knew nothing

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Nu Reality
‘Six-headed Estonian groove monster’, Lexsoul Dancemachine is back with new single – er – Nu Reality. And if you caught them a couple of years ago when they barrelled in from left of field with debut LP Deus Ex Machina or the follow-up Sunny Holiday In Lexico, you’ll know they mean business both in the studio, where they’re tighter than a gnat’s chuff, or live, where the tightness slips not a

LEXSOUL DANCEMACHINE: Sunny Holiday In Lexico (2017)
If you caught Lexsoul Dancemachine’s blistering debut LP Deus Lex Machina last year and/or caught one of their electric live shows, you’ll definitely be stoked to hear that album number two, Sunny Holiday In Lexico, has arrived and right to expect even more heavy funk bombardment. But don’t expect Deus Lex Machina
