They also add a bit of new flavour to the mix this time in the form of some heavier soul-rock inspired tunes and some mellow instrumental jazz, spacing out the hard hitting funk and soul nuggets just right, while always keeping the musical, vocal and rap performances tight.

Many bands and artists these days try to emulate the studio recording sound of the late 60′s and 70′s, and while some of them are successful, oftentimes it sounds a bit out of place or somewhat artificial compared to the real deal, but Breakestra manages to make it their own sound, and it fits them like a fine pair of racing gloves.

Just as “Hit The Floor” has more or less been a permanent fixture in my record bag for the past four years, it might just get a new friend, cause this one is a solid floor filler guaranteed to please the avid funk aficionado as well as the sweaty dance crowd down at the club.
