Da Funk EP

By now, we should all know what to expect from Alexander Chebankov AKA Sunner Soul, namely warm, woozy, tactile and picturesque cuts that combine his own production chops with elements borrowed from disco, boogie, soul and Balearic jams. 'Da Funk', his first missive of 2024, boasts four tried and tested cuts. First up is the title track, a filter-heavy slab of filter heavy disco-house which boasts nods to some of Basement Jaxx's earliest material. This is followed by the Tiger & Woods-esque boogie-house of 'Need You', a tidy (and subtly dubby) South American jazz-funk-meets-disco number ('Brazilian Rhythms') and a gorgeously dreamy slab of ambient excellence ('Deep Space').

Teenage DJ aka Greg Wilson ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’ (extended)

119 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2005 & 2008.

The Teenage DJ project was something that organically came together from the time I initially started using a computer at home, around the end of the 90’s. It developed out of the sketch ideas I was doing at the time in order to learn how to master the basics of the music programs I wanted to work with, particularly Acid. Before I knew it there were a dozen or so of these sketches, and the idea of a project began to form. Over the next couple of years the amount of sketches would grow to around 30 or so, at which point, in 2003, I put the project on the backburner while I directed my energies into setting up www.electrofunkroots.co.uk , before returning to the clubs at the end of the year, where I began to play some of the more dance-based TDJ grooves I’d put together, like ‘Glorious’, ‘Time And Place (Disco Break)’ and, most notably, ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’, built around the intro of KC & The Sunshine Band’s 1977 single ‘I’m Your Boogie Man’, which dated right back to when I actually was a teenage DJ, back in my Merseyside hometown of New Brighton.

The response to them was so positive that, in 2005, I decided to press up a four track 12”, which I called ‘Teenage DJ Disco Best’ (borrowing its title, and the ‘Disco’ logo from a promo I received back in 1978 called ‘Kraftwerk’s Disco Best’).Given that all the TDJ tracks were quite short I decided to extend ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’, creating a reprise and adding a couple more minutes for the dancefloor.

This would turn out to be something of a landmark track for me, becoming an underground favourite, most rewardingly on a personal level in New York. At this point all my bookings were still in the UK, but, with the first volume of Credit To The Edit imminent things began to shift up a gear for me, with Groove Magazine in Germany bringing me over to Berlin for my European return (I’d last played abroad at Mülheim in Germany in 1980, for the two months immediately before I landed my Wigan Pier residency).

Thanks to DJ's Rub N Tug and nights like No Ordinary Monkey, the track took off on the New York underground preceding my debut there following the release of the first Credit To The Edit album in 2005.

The ‘Teenage DJ Disco Best’ 12” would become a DJ favourite far and wide, both at this early point and later via subsequent re-pressings, all four tracks picking up plenty of plays. In 2008 ‘I Was A Teenage DJ Pt 1’ would re-emerge, having been pressed up back to back with another landmark tune for me, my Imagination / Missy Elliot mash-up, ‘Gotta Keep Workin’ It’, for the first Reactivate 12”. It’s something I’ll always return to from time to time, given its special place in my DJ heart – it’s the groove that keeps on giving.

MOONPUP's Album

Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me - 2013

More relevant than ever, ‘World Gone Crazy’ sums up many people’s thoughts in these turbulent times.

This version appeared on the 'Greg Wilson Presents Super Weird Substance' compilation, a GW edit featuring elements of both the club dub and original mix. It was not previously available on SoundCloud until now.

'World Gone Crazy' was the fourth 12" single on Super Weird Substance back in July 2015. Originally written in the early nineties as part of the Mind Body & Soul project Greg Wilson was then developing with singer Tracey Carmen, it was intended for an album that never was and only a demo version was ever recorded. 

Its lyrics identified an information age already spiralling out of control. Two decades on however, and it’s far beyond anything anyone could have imagined back then. Originally referencing the post-acid house generation, ‘a generation lost and disillusioned’ now becomes the sixties generation, growing old in a world even more corrupt and confused than the one they thought they’d change.

It was suggested that 'World Gone Crazy' would be perfect for Leeds singer/musician The Reverend Cleve Freckleton and gruff gravitas of The Reverend’s voice was exactly what the track needed, serving to give its words more poignancy now than when they were written. 

Channeling the fire and spectacle of a spiritual laden Deep South service, Cleve cuts a commanding figure, calling out the world’s wrongs from his sonic pulpit. 'World Gone Crazy' was adroitly programmed by Peza, with The Reynolds and the song’s original singer, Tracey Carmen, providing powerful bvox and Ché Wilson weighing in with funk-laced rhythm guitar.

One of the standout tracks from Joey Negro’s Produced With Love album and a firm favourite of Gilles Peterson, "Distorting Space Time" gets the full remix treatment.

Kicking it off is Chicago legend Ron Trent, who provides his own take on the original funked out, Arthur Russell flavour, moving it into deeper, more housed up territory.

Fouk bring their hazy, jazz tinged style building the remix around those warm Rhodes chords, shuffling rhythm and low pulsating bassline. 

Joey Negro adds his own new Space Funk remix featuring Kaidi Tatham on keys which is a deep, jazzy broken beat groove with extra vocoder solo from Sunburst regular Tony Remy.
