All Good Funk Alliance At Juno Download

Review: Primed with party power and whacked out on some seriously spacey synths, the All Good Funk Alliance update their already impressive repertoire with a fourth studio album. Sounding more polished and developed than ever before, this is a rare breed of album that works well as a collection of individual DJ bombs and a slick cohesive listening experience. Naturally, highlights abound and range in rich flavours from the gritty, KRS-One-meets-Plump DJs style booty shaker "Time To Get Loose" to the classic Danny Breaks style block-rocking bass and timbale fusion "Throw Down". Littered with slippery disco, raw instrumental funk and vibrant breakbeats, these cats aren't jacks at all -they're party masters.

Review: Thanks be to Super Hi-Fi! All Good Funk Alliance's fiery track "Sock It To Ya!" gets an enthusiastic make-over from three top notch remixers from the funk/breaks scene. This masterful affair begins with Super Hi-Fi's resident outfit B-Team delivering the signature house-meets-breaks feel that has defined the label. Next, Spanish B-boy Calagad 13 takes "Sock It To Ya!" on a ride to the mothership with a slick, digital funk version. Finally, Philly funksters Clayton & Fulcrum take the track in an almost 'rock n' roll' direction with some inventive guitar licks and a bit of that ol' boom bap. It's yet another in-your-face musical statement from Super Hi-Fi, defying boundaries and infecting your DJ sets.
