The wait is finally over! Voyage Funktastique, the world famous curators of Future Funk, have teamed up with Bastard Jazz to release their first official 45. VF have perfected their winning combination of dancefloor banger and smoother cut (as heard on their critically acclaimed Split-Series releases) making this 45 a must have crate staple.

Side A reunites the dynamic duo of Buscrates and Laura Benack for a massive track where synths and basslines collide. Side B is an excursion into the melodic universe of Dr.Mad with sultry vocals from Fawna and Illa J’s unique flow serving as a guiding light. Over the years Voyage Funktastique have provided fans worldwide with the finest funk and now it’s their time to shine through in a speaker near you.

Olmos – Luna’s Groove | Coming soon !

This new release by Olmos is gonna hit the Modern Funk world this month on Gulf Point Records (the label created by our friend Benny Badge aka Freekwency).

Heads may not know it, but Olmos (real name Oliver Graham) has been one of the busiest influencers on Australia’s underground music culture this side of the 90s. Through family-run operation Paradise Loft Records, he has quietly imported thousands of dead stock Disco, Boogie and early House records into crates across the country – affording tastemakers a slice of digging culture only a trip to NYC would previously have allowed.

Thus Ol’s arrival at Gulf Point gleams with the jewels you’d expect from a producer with such inspired tastes. These are set free on “Luna’s Groove”, a star-chasing collection of nouveau post-disco works, crafted in earnest with dancers in mind. Raised on a healthy diet of Levan mixes and M+M dubs, his own use of juicy Moog basses, progressive arrangements and glittering melodies have bought forth an EP which modestly harnesses the New York Garage aesthetic he loves so dearly./br Three Olmos originals are teamed with an astral mix by Benny Badge, reigniting his Freekwency namesake to redo the title with cosmic pads and the gravitational pull of a timeless 808 sequence. Jack Doepel, known for his work with Melbourne’s rising Krakatau, also makes an appearance on sax – landing this interstellar mission somewhere on Jupiter’s fifth moon, Rhea.

This is Ollie and Benny’s second meeting, the first being Freekwency’s “Flip The Coin” on Voyeurhythm. Recorded in 2011, their collaboration fuelled a simmering Boogie revival and remains in high demand alongside similar transmissions from Tom Noble, Psychic Mirrors and PPU. Since then, Olmos’ evolution has scored him some deserved points of his own – “Luna’s Groove” however, may have just hit the bulls-eye. Mixed by Luke Million and mastered by Polybonk. Fans of Metro Area, Faze Action as well as Andy Sojka & Atmosfear electro-jazz classics will dig!

Official release date: 22nd February, 2018
