12"

New Robert Owens release! Written by Robert Owens, produced by Ron Trent and Jerome Sydenham.

Seven Davis Jr recruits two close friends and kindred spirits to rework cuts from his debut album Universes: house music titans Karizma (aka Kaytronik) and Osunlade (aka Yoruba Soul). Basement Boy Karizma takes on "Sunday Morning" delivering a high octane "Ruff Kut" dub and a choppier Baltimore Club tinged "Love Break" dub. On the flip, Osunlade gives "Welcome Back" his trademark exquisite touch.

Melbourne’s got it (goin’ on)! Returning back to the city we hauled in yet another producer. M5K fixes us up with three edgy House tracks together with smooth, synthesized melodies and a wicked kick.M5K has built up quite the resume, with releases on Melbourne recordlabels. Not just some new kid on the block, eh! Exactly the reason we’re excited to have him featured on Dopeness Galore.The A side will get the party started. ‘We Got It (Goin’ On)’ reels you in with the synthesized boogie and sci-fi sound effects the Melbourne sound is known for. The track steadily climaxes to a high-energy war of sounds, making you want to get on down by laying the track down with a double kick. Now, get ready for the flip side! We kept the artwork black, because this release just feels dirty. Just listen to how grimy the bass gets and let Shawty tell you why. The final and title track is layered with repeating chords over a groovy baseline. M5K really breaks it down with ‘Healin Feelin’.Sounds like Mike Dunn from Melbourne, if you like the edge of MD X-press you shouldn’t miss this!

Further heat from Gay Marvine, brightening up every floor with powerful uplifting DJ tools, the essence of the heat of the party. This time we have lost disco classic that just gets you burning, the funk of War given the perfect disco treatment, Diana giving it to you like only she could (and later Michael would, his exact staccato style), and luv tempo of factory favorites who later had a member who completed her PhD in the cultural politics of the house music aesthetic in 1995.

Food and funk music have a strange connection, which is hard to describe, and even if tried, probably delivers somewhat messy and unappetizing results. There are plenty of 70's funk LP sleeves that can be referenced for evidence.With all this in mind Timmion offers its very first 12" single lifted from the upcoming "Happiness In Every Style" album by Nicole Willis. The track features Nicole rapping her way through a highly funky potage. She promises home cooking, biscuits and everything else for anyone listening, peach cobbler for dessert to top things off. It is certain that when hearing this call, one can do nothing else but jump straight to the dancefloor.Those who want to skip the main-course and head straight for the dessert, can flip the disc over, and be exposed to the hypnotic balearic-funk business that just kills things for 6 and a half minutes. A bit like Isaac Hayes and Barry White originally meant it to be done, but à la mode by the The Soul Investigators. The instrumental deserves to be pimped for across-the-board appraisal.
