Dusty Donuts 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: They make you wait 15 months for a new release, then put out two in the same few weeks. Dusty Donuts, now five years into their mission to serve up the biggest party breaks and funkiest funk, this time offer the low riding Cali g-funk of "I Get Juiced (Doc Flex & NMX Mix)" which will be familiar to anyone who has heard "I Get Lifted" by Gwen McCrae. The flip is even more smooth and seductive, with the boom-bap grooves and early r&b flow of "How We Do The Show (Westside Mix)" making it a superbly sweet set.

Review: Munchies anyone? Dusty Donuts add a little smoky soul to proceedings with two cruise control slow-jams. Keni Burke's "Rising To The Top" gets a little twist and extension, adding the smouldering allure of the original, while Rick James' emphatic green homage "Mary Jane" takes a few hits and settles into a warm sedate glowing groove. Ideal sunset jams; Jim Sharp's delivered once again.

Review: More DJ-friendly cut-ups and mash-ups from the Dusty Donuts camp, whose modus operandi seems to be the pursuit of dancefloor carnage. Naughty NMX is the producer at the controls on side A, delivering a "Cali Mix" of "All Eyes on Lovin" that effortlessly joins the dots between woozy sunshine disco, sugary soul and punchy electrofunk. It's the sort of track that will sound superb booming out of sound systems at sun-baked daytime parties. RUNEX handles the B-side, underpinning elements from a couple of similarly saucer-eyed blue-eyed cuts with punchy, hip-hop style beats and well-placed effects. It's effectively yacht rock for the MPC generation, which is no bad thing in our book.

Review: Seen on the regular alongside fellow colluder Jim Dunloop, dusty-fingered German funkateer Marc Hype returns for another round of 7" action on the ever-dependable Dusty Donuts label. Up top, Hype teams up with Naughty NMX for a heavy duty tweak of James Brown classic "The Get Down" with the added weight to the drums really sounding fresh on a good system. "Pays the cost to be the boss" indeed! Naughty NMX goes solo on the B side, retreating another J Brown standard "I Got Ants In My Pants" with some added Public Enemy - the results speak for themselves. Good work all round.

Review: London/Berlin 45" crew fatten us up once again with a deeply detailed homage to the mighty A Tribe Called Quest: Sharp takes the lead with a supreme blend of "Find A Way" and a Bebel Gilberto cut that Dilla acquainted many of us with. Flip for Naughty NMX hug the EU tearfully and reverse engineer "Check The Rhime" by bringing us back to the delicious Minnie Ripperton source material. This quest is over.
