GOURMENT DE FUNK Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Gourment de Funk is one of the lesser-celebrated pseudonyms of long-serving Italian producer Michele Lamacchia, who is arguably best known for his work as Rhythm of Paradise and 34th Floor Experience. Here Lamacchia dons the alias for a third time in four years, in the process making his bow on Urban Underground Grooves. What's on offer is a quartet of sweat-soaked, bumpin' and energy-packed disco-house cuts that sit somewhere between the filter-heavy frolics of 'French Touch' and the muscular madness of vintage DJ Sneak. All four cuts are primed for peak-time plays, with our picks of a very strong bunch being stomping A2 workout 'Disco Freak', the infectious and memorable 'Keep On Groovin' and the Soundstream-esque excellence of 'Old School Flava'.
