The inclusion of skipless tracks adds another dimension, allowing for seamless blends and extended mixes. With its focus on functionality and quality, this release is a must-have for any serious turntablist or DJ looking to expand their arsenal of sounds.

Review: Private Stock Records is slowly but surely building up a golden catalogue of funk magic. This fourth EP is another high-class double dose that opens with Cutso's 'Fallen Love (Woo Woo)', a swirling slow burner of a tune with heavy, languid drums and twisted vocal samples that eventually coalesce into a warming party vibe. Excel's 'Had To Shut You Down' is a glorious soul gem with lush Philly strings and ornamental arrangements that raise your spirits and elevate your mood with its seductive grooves, not to mention a classic r&b vocal sample.

Review: This 7" delivers a double dose of expertly crafted edits that pay homage to iconic sounds. Side-1 features Vitamin D's 'Roger That', a funky, Roger Troutman-inspired masterpiece. With seamless edits of classic elements from Troutman's catalogue, the track is a groove-laden tribute packed with nostalgia and dancefloor appeal.Flip to Side-2 for Double A's 'You Can't Front On That', a clever rework reminsicent of the Beastie Boys' Check Your Head era. Double A skillfully amplifies the track's raw energy, blending its gritty funk and hip-hop essence into a crisp, modern edit. Both sides showcase sharp production and an undeniable love for their source material. Hip-hop and early electro funk heads unite!
