Review:
BMD has been an established member of the extended Timewarp family since 2008, when he dropped his first funk-laden single, Refunked. Here he presents his debut album proper, a warm and fuzzy collection of snappy modern funk, horn-laden breaks, P-funk revivalism and woozy downtempo jams. Funked Up moves between tempos impressively, showcasing bright and breezy tracks that range from blisteringly quick to slow and loose. There are occasional forays into kitsch, 60s-style lounge funk (see the humorously titled "Keep Off The Brass") and bubbling, house-tempo groovery (the wah-wah guitar-laden "On A Roll"), but for the most part it's a whirlwind trip through floor-friendly funk breaks.
