Tracklist 12":
A1. Steady Choosin' A2. Countin' Up With Starr B1. Runner Joe's Revenge B2. Pool Shark Loot

Short info:
Returning to Hypercolour with a second volume of his Sugar Cane Chronicles, Gary Gritness lays down more devastating funk and classy riffing over his trusty Roland 606. After the first volume, released last April, sold out its vinyl run, Gritness delivers more explorations and adventures into his unique and soulful world. Having elusively built his reputation as an outstanding session player, live producer and fantastically dressed Funkateer, Gritness has delivered a handful of releases on labels like Clone Crown Ltd, Nyami Nyami and his own DIY and cassette-only Slikk Tapes.
"Steady Choosin" gets downright fusion-jazz and Gritness fires out seductive melodies and latin piano playing of the highest order whilst "Countin Up With Starr" delves into a darker well of synth mania, with a sexual groove reminiscing of Rick James, all the while retaining Gary's signature licks and riffs.
"Runner Joe's Revenge" on the flip ramps up the hysteria for a gritty and colossal production that typifies his love of cyberpunk soundtracks and the drama and narrative to be found in this style. "The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 2" closes with the low-slung "Pool Shark Loot", wrapping up on a mysterious and captivating tone; its wandering bassline and melodic touches carrying all the signature Gritness sounds, with the P-Funk sleaziness on top.

Tracklist 12":
A1. Preachin' Some Tight Game A2. Stayin' Strong Hand B1. Working Girls B2. Fly Shit
Short info:
With two releases already under his belt on Clone, Gary Gritness AKA Slikk Tim lands on Hypercolour with "The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1".
Gritness may be a relatively new name on the block, but his session work for artists like Kenny Bobien, Louie Vega and Grant Nelson has marked up this multi-instrumentalist as a clear talent. Hailing from France, Gritness had been spotted by Underground Resitance's 'Mad' Mike Banks as 'one to watch', and on his Hypercolour release, displays a deft hand of producing futuristic funk sounds.
A spot on blend of raw drum programming and blissfull jazz funk riffs, "Preachin Some Tight Game" sets the EP's tone just right with its infectious melodies and cruising groove. Darker 1980's soundtrack vibes are explored on "Stayin' Strong Hand" with its thick analogue atmosphere, whilst the laid back and freestyle vibes of "Working Girls" demands to be played in the Cadillac with the top down! EP closer, "Fly Shit", continues with the tranquil melodies and G-Funk factor.
