The Poets Of Rhythm/ Jaguar – Ham Gallery/ Battle Of Funk

Here you have 2 fine examples of how modern funk should sound. First up, Germanyís Poets of Rhythm, arguably the first players in the scene to push the new funk style, drop one of their all time classics on 7î for the first time. Crisp drums, heavy bass and sweet horns make this a tried and tested piece of stone cold dancefloor funk. The flipside sees Icelandís answer to the JBs, Jaguar laying down another groove laden monster that The Godfather himself would be proud of (and we donít mean Marlon Brando). This track was originally the b-side to the very first release on FREESTYLE, but has long since been out of press so we though it a good idea to give it another lease of life. Already getting caned by Mad Mats (Raw Fusion), Quantic, Boca 45 and Dr Rubberfunk.
