1 DUTTY FUNK / TIMMY VEGAS & BARBARA TUCKER (MN2S)
As far as electric bass guitar lines go, this is dirtier than your mommas knickers, even if i do say so myself… too ‘Dutty’.
2 GIVE YOU / DJAIMIN (J LEWIS HOUSE CUT) (PURPLE MUSIC)
DJ Eve kept telling me how simple this track is, I kept telling her ” I try to nail solid banging grooves like this everyday”. Simple ? yes, easy ? no ! I’m in awe !!!
3 ANN NESBY / SO MUCH JOY (CODE RED)
You gotta have a bit of church in the house.
4 DA BUMP / MR V (SOLE CHANNEL)
Mr V and Alix Alvarez are pioneers, I’ve seen people with 2 left feet getting down to this.
5 GET ANOTHER LOVE / KATHY BROWN (DEFECTED)
When Kathy sings she can reduce you to tears, great breakdown and great mix by Warren Clarke.
6 SEXY / CIAPPY DJ (TONY RECORDS)
Tony Humphries sampler is full of gems. The horns in this track take the roof off.
7 The Chant / DJ MARTIN WRIGHT (CDR)
A wicked funky and chunky groove with a few African djum djum overtones thrown in for good measure.
8 HE IS / COPYRIGHT (FERER & SYDENHAM MIX) (DEFECTED)
This just builds and builds and builds, quality vocals from Song Williamson.
9 INTENSITY / SOUL CENTRAL (SOUL HEAVEN RECORDS)
It’s all about the breakdown, what can I say ? VERY intense… how Andy Ward and I like it.
10 DEVOTION/ GROOVE JUNKIES – TIMMY VEGAS RAW MIX
I heard Louie Vega play this at the “Magic Sessions”…. i was Jackin in the bass bins !
I didn’t even get to mention “The WAY YOU LOVE ME” Allister Whiteheads “Heaven” or Benji Candelarios “The Shake”. Lots of great music this year on the Litmus Label, City deep, Tool Room, lots and lots of great stuff, oh and every thing Terry Hunter played in his sets too !!!!
‘Dutty Funk” is the slamming new single from Barbara Tucker & Timmy Vegas and due in May on MN2S.
