Past Due is back digging even deeper into the world of obscure, highly sought-after boogie funk. This time we land in Miami, 1986–87, at the doorstep of the Palmer brothers’ short-lived but now cult-favorite imprint, Gold Star Records.

As Gary Palmer recalls, Gold Star was a passion project — a moment where each of the brothers took turns writing and producing a handful of singles that would later become serious collector bait. Small runs, big sound, and pure Miami energy.

For this release, the spotlight is on Tempess, a studio project crafted by the Palmers around one of the most in-demand vocalists in Miami at the time, Johnny Bokat (pictured on the sleeve). The collaboration yielded two standout singles: “So Fine” and “So Nice.”

Both cuts are sublime examples of laid-back, sun-drenched Miami funk — rich in groove, melody, and late-’80s sophistication — and now reissued for the first time on Past Due.
