Taken from their forthcoming album on Hero Records, the A-side track'Superbad' is exactly that, with badass breaks, dope horns, funkyflute, sleazy guitar, fat bass and groovy organ combining to form oneof the heaviest slices of dancefloor funk you're likely to hear this year.

On the b-side David remixes their track 'The Good Vibe' in his Renegades of Jazz alter-ego. The original version of the track wasreleased by Jack To Phono Records on 7" in 2010 and this remix for2011 turns up the summer vibes, with jazzy guitar and piano added tothe Renegades' trademark heavy funk breaks that have made his previous singles on Wass Records and Hiperbole Records, and his remixes of artists such as Kid Loco and Hidden Jazz Quartet, such sought after releases.

If you love to get up to get down, then this is the release for you.If you don't then you are out of luck, as you won't be able to sitstill once you hear either of these tracks! More funk than a trunk of drunk skunks in your bunk!

Title:Work It Out EP
Label:Funk Weapons
For our 24th release we wanted to go back to our classic Funk Weapons roots, and to do that we bring you Mash & Munkee aka David Hanke & Kolja Starkowski from Germany. They have produced three slices of supreme nu-funk goodness for all you break beat loving freaks. First off we start with 'Work it Out', a full on funk fest of horns, funky bass, and enough cracking break-beats to satisfy the nimblest of b-boys. 'Giving you the Funk' does just that, complete with a jumping live bass-line, building horns and hip hop vocals and groove that eventually builds up to a nice fat synth bass-line that takes the track to the next level. 'Make A Difference' gets all Ron Burgundy on us with some funky flute and smooth blaxplotation style horns and of course another funky bass-line to keep the kids body rocking. Finally we round out the package with Neighbour's remix of 'Make a Difference', who remixes the track in his signature future-boogie style, complete with honking bass-line and smooth chords and injects back in the horns and flute to make the whole thing jam perfect for those late night roller-disco vibes.

Title:Wake Up EP
Label:Backslide Records
Unifairfly & Deli-Kutt are two german producers from Bad Segeberg and Wuppertal. David (Unifairfly) runs a radio show called Rebel Radio aired in the area Kiel/Lubeck presenting all new stuff from the depths of modern funk music. Kolja (Deli-Kutt) is deejaying since 96 concentrating on NuJazz, Downbeat, Soul and good ol' funky stuff. They got to know each other through the music database discogs, where they found out about the similarities of their favours. They swapped their recent material and quickly noticed the potential of teaming up for musical reasons. Mash & Munkee was founded. Put Funk as the main ingredient and add Jazz, Soul, Dub and Hip Hop as spice and you'll taste what Mash & Munkee's music is all about. Their tracks get unearthed in nightly sessions on computer and phone, always swapping the next addition or change in the arrangement. After building up their myspace profile with great feedback on their first tracks, both considered regular meetings as prerequisite to improve their productions. In late 2006 the label Backslide Records asked for liscensing two of their track for bar compilations and now they are working on their second EP to be released next year.
