VOODOOCUTS/ JAYL FUNK: Honkey Phonk 7 – Party People/’Dirty’ (2014)

Honkey Phonk 7 Voodoocuts Jayl Funk[RATING: 5] Now then, if you’re going to do a funk edit, best to go large. Better still, go large with a mate who is himself going large with another funk edit. And if you’re going large with a funk edit it’s probably best to pick a track where the original is either an obscure gem or a lesser known classic so that your audience aren’t all “meh, another one of that one” when they hear it. Better still, how about you do an edit of an obscure gem and get your mate to edit a lesser known classic? As luck would have it, that’s precisely what Voodoocuts and Jayl Funk have done for Honkey Phonk 7. The former nabs Zebra’s uptempo obscurity Simple Song (not, apparently, anything to do with the Sly & The Family Stone song of the same name) and applies Jurassic 5’s In The House ‘pella to create funky, disco-rap crack. The latter helps himself to Earth, Wind & Fire’s version of Dirty and delivers a slightly more hypnotic affair but no less crowd-pleasing.
