For the entirety of their existence, First Touch have been at the forefront of modern funk music. The Germany-based group was a major component in the first wave of boogie revivalism which began in the 2000's. Their eponymous debut album would become legendary among synth funk aficionados who were seeking to hear new artists working with 1980's-era blueprints of analog keyboards & heavy hand claps. First Touch has remained active ever since, with releases on many of the prime modern funk labels in the game. Now they can add Sleepers to that list with a 7" which includes two new songs. "Changes" is classic First Touch - Drum tracks that could've been lifted from any song in regular rotation at Paradise Garage, rubbery synth bass lines and leads, and unlike many of their fellow modern funksters, a willingness to place non-synth instruments prominently into their production via warm piano chords & horn stabs. "Chron" falls more into electro territory, and as such adds new dimensions to the First Touch sound.

As always, Sleepers brings you these two tracks in physical form via limited edition color vinyl 7" - only 150 copies pressed!

Meant for Me (ft. Nicofasho and HVZE)

Ivan Makvel & Maya Killtron join forces to create two fresh powerful Nu-Funk anthems with Like Water & Step It Up.
The music in Like Water takes influences from the best funk songs of the early 80's 'till the more modern funk of Bruno Mars, with strong edgy bass lines, synth brass and real horns mixed to the elegance and power of the voice of Maya Killtron.
Step It Up, is a tribute to the electronic funk of the 80's that will make you dance all night.

Do It for Yourself

TNT BAND - Do It for Yourself

On his third single, Reality Jonez brings a new dimension to his "new oldies" sound, by upping the usual tempo to a more danceable pace, and melding it with warm synth work that suggests the influence of late 70's/early 80's proto-boogie that became the dancefloor standard in R&B circles of the day. Still saying true to his soul-based roots, the track is nonetheless carried by pianos, plucking guitars, and live drums, effectively forming a bridge between the sometimes distant worlds of contemporary soul and synth funk. 

Jonez' vocals reach out to the woman he's been longing for, hoping that she will "just say yes" to his propositions of love. His straightforward sentiment proves that the tried-and-true subjects of love and romance never sound tired when delivered authentically.
