Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Ah, free as a bird. That's how we like it. But with less feathers and beaks and weird twiglet feet. Especially the twiglet feet. What's up with those? Birds are freaks basically. But at least they're free.
Which is also how we like our music here at th'Object.
Another smorgasbord of music awaits, so let's get down to it.
'Misdemeanour' by the CBs is already a slice of pure old-school funk released on DJ, producer and funkmaster general A-Skillz' new label, Jam City.
Then Mr Skillz stepped up on remix duties and a dancefloor-smashing monster was born.
And now he's giving the track away for free. What a bloody nice chap. It's a killer tune, you need this in your life.
Grab it here.
Staying on a funky tip, next we have an album by French hip-hopper DJ Trans Bert entitled 'Music, Friends, Life'.
With cool, smoky vibes, jazz flourishes, crisp beats and tight cuts aplenty, this is a very slick debut from the as-yet unsigned Trans Bert (who also goes by the name of Tatsuki The Abstract, after all, everyone needs a good AKA nowadays).
You can download the album here courtesy of The Find Mag and get your head nod on.
This is music to comb your Afro to. And if you don't have an Afro, you might just grow one listening to this raw, badass funky material. It's tougher than Shaft, sweeter than Coffy and even more pimp than The Mack.
Refusing to be confined by pigeonholes and genres, Budabeats are putting out trip-hop, breaks, turntablism and other funky stuff and it's all free.
I've been rinsing 'Funkagent' by Sliptone all week - a brilliant release.
Head over to their site for this and many more releases.
He's just released his album 'Love and Happiness' - a collection of slow jams, with slick vocal guest performances, nice scratches and crisp beats. His production is full of great samples and smooth vocals, 'Shine' featuring Amenta is a particularly beautiful track.
Grab it here (Megaupload link).
Cheers all, have a truly funky weekend.
Thanks for spreading the word about DJ Tran-Bert's demo and giving us a heads up, appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to re-post more from our site, that's alright with us.
Cheers,
