Quasamodo - Can't Hold Me Down EP (2013) / funk, acid jazz, broken beats

Quasamodo‘s Can’t Hold Me Down EP is out next month and finds him delivering four flavours of original funk. The title track features vocalist Thaliah and is the sort of thing technically known in the trade as latin-jazzy old bollocks. I wouldn’t want our man to get the hump about that or anything, so let’s quickly add that Change Is Strange rates rather more highly on the monkey’s groove-o-meter with an old school eighties old school feel and vocals on a nineties soul tip as does dancefloor spy-funk closer Funkenstein while dirty wah-wah fest (and Isaac Hayes pastiche) Son Of Shaft actually made me get a bit of a lob on – and now it’s up for free download off the player below. Happy days! Check it below… (Out 4 March on Jalapeno Records)
