UK brother duo Funk Cartel have risen fast in the scene pushing their unique, forward thinking take on House music. Known for their high energy sets the duo became regulars at 93 Feet East – London. The pair went on to play up and down the UK’s club scene also spinning overseas at the iconic Café Mambo, Ibiza. Co-founding established record label THUNDR gave them a platform to showcase their sound, while a string of widely supported releases landed them on labels Hottrax and Eastenderz. This has set up an exciting release schedule for the year ahead and solidifies the Funk Cartel as one of the most eye catching acts emerging from the UK House scene. As their new 5 track release, ‘Imprints’, lands on wAFF’s Nature Records, DMCWordl goes Back To Mine With Funk Cartel.
