Mash & Munkee "Work It Out EP"

So proud to have another release almost out on Funk Weapons, after having the baby and working the full time job and doing odd work on the weekends I find I have very little time these days for my beloved label. I finally got the artwork back and everything is wrapping up for this release, so excited about this one. It should be out by the end of June.

For our 24th release we wanted to go back to our classic Funk Weapons roots, and to do that we bring you Mash & Munkee aka David Hanke & Kolja Starkowski from Germany. They have produced three slices of supreme nu-funk goodness for all you break beat loving freaks. First off we start with “Work it Out”, a full on funk fest of horns, funky bass, and enough cracking break-beats to satisfy the nimblest of b-boys. “Giving you the Funk” does just that, complete with a jumping live bass-line, building horns and hip hop vocals and groove that eventually builds up to a nice fat synth bass-line that takes the track to the next level. “Make A Difference” gets all Ron Burgundy on us with some funky flute and smooth blaxplotation style horns and of course another funky bass-line to keep the kids body rocking. Finally we round out the package with Neighbour’s remix of “Make a Difference”, who remixes the track in his signature future-boogie style, complete with honking bass-line and smooth chords and injects back in the horns and flute to make the whole thing jam perfect for those late night roller-disco vibes.
