Review: Sardinian nu-funk flag flyers, Sound Exhibitions, have rustled up a treat for this latest release - a collaboration between shady-but-great producers DJ Moy and Funk O'Ya. "Destinations Funk Part 4" tells it like it is, boasting the aforementioned sizzling bass twangin' joint effort "Locomotion Vocal" and a further two solo joints by Moy - the slow 'n' squelchy "Summer Funk" and the thankfully self explanatory "Dirty Funk" (imagine if it didn't live up to the promise of a title like that). Raw grooves at their best.
Review: Italian disco label Sound Exhibitions believe in 'exposing' their 'multi-colored rhythms and grooves' via hook-ups and compilations. Here label boss Dimitiri Ferrari pursues the former, pitting DJ Moy and Funk O'Ya against each other. There are five jams here including the ferocious, scratch-heavy funk of "Here I Go Again", the squelch-bass synth groover "Destination Funk 5" and the Another One Bites The Dust vibes of cosmic shaker "Disorient Funk".
Review: Both Funk Windows and Funk O'Ya have numerous releases to their name but seemingly no online presence, making us suspect they're aliases for one or more of Sound Exhibitions' better-known artists. Whoever's behind it, though, this set of low-slung, low-tempo grooves will add a little leftfield spice to funk sets, with 'All Right' - which fuses funk geetar chops, mournful trumpet and a looped, Indian-sounding male vocal - taking the gold, though there's some fine Hammond work on 'Jat On Air'. Then again, India had quite a strong funk scene of its own in the 70s, so maybe these are re-edits... who can say?
