N-Funk 1 preview
Fresh from being nominated best producers at the breakbeat awards NAPT return, signing over from Sub Frequency Funk to parent label Funkatech for their brand new four-part 'N-Funk'series, serving up a warning to those who might be thinking the breakbeat milk may have gone sour.
First up on the N-Funk series & paying homage to that most treasured of percussion instruments is 'Gotta Have More Cowbell'. Sampling that legendary Saturday Night Live studio session with Christopher Walken, NAPT lay down an absolute dance floor detonator, activated all the way from their new underground studio hideout. A golden 70's horn-drenched hyped-up drop out soon gives way to the rudest of bass lines with the guys getting busy on the live percussion and drums. After rolling out the bass line stinkyness with finesse watch for the switch & the most outrageous funk workout twisting it up & inside out & taking the roof off as only NAPT know how.
On the flip switching it up once more is 'Heart Of Stone', a slower paced forward thinking boundary breaking slice of N-Funk magic. A lush musical intro twists into a futuristic gypsy tinged hardcore-esque shocker before mutating back into a deep and sensual roller, laying down a more emotive melodic vibe over the clicking swinging beefy rhythm section. Their unique ear for subtly balancing the organic and the electronic really comes through here.. yet another reason why these guys are being applauded as one of the most exciting producers in breaks!
