Aer recent reflections on kosmische sonics and so focus synthesis, Origin Peoples' latest release is an in-depth exploration of our universal dance floor grammar from Italian producer Whodamanny. A key member of Naples' cosmic funk contemporaries, Raaele has put his psychedelic stamp on Periodica and Gravi Grati, both in solo mode and as a member of the notorious Mystic Jungle Tribe. His debut solo LP, (and first outing on Origin Peoples) 'T.C.P.' travels a retro-futurist timeline between the esoteric electronics of Italy's rich library heritage and a chrome-clad brand of robotic body music perfect for the o-planetary resorts of the near future. Coastal, cosmic, funky and far out, this is the perfect distillation of the Neapolitan sound that’s been turning heads and moving bodies in recent years. More

Oz's Inkswel sends an irresistible four track package zig zagging across the globe to the door of Fort Unthank on the banks of Loch Firecracker, somewhere in the mists of Scotland, via his very own powerful boogie powered super collider. Comes with a remix by Eglo's Funkineven. Tip!!
Opener 'Do It' is how it's done: atomic funk which has been split, stretched and closely inspected, then reassembled to create a dancefloor chain reaction. The funk particles then pass through the Americas and pick up the one and only Chico Mann. A man known for his like minded awareness of, and abilities with, the worldwide ways of the electric boogaloo, he adds his abstract Afro Cuban theories to 'Tu Machito'. Next, it's a sharp turn eastwards to the old countries, whilst riding the waves of 'LFO Bounce'. UK's Funkineven, another kindred spirit in the search for man made machine soul, provides further refinement to the initial wave hypothesis, resulting in a glimpse of the elusive dark matter. More
