Available on limited colored vinyl LP, Digital & Streaming.
As music in the digital age seems to be shifting back to a 60's era emphasis on singles over albums, those who clamor for a full-length installment of music from their favorite artists have found their thirst increasingly unquenched. Enter Leopard DaVinci & Louis 707, who are boldly filling this gap in modern funk music with their LP "Make The Party Great Again."

Living through an era of social distancing, event cancellations, and venue closures, making the party thrive as it once did is no small task, but this French synth-funk duo come across as extraordinarily energized to meet the challenge. It feels like every synthesizer sound ever conceived somehow lives within their arsenal, as a colorful blend of analog tones and back-cracking handclaps form the foundation for pure boogie bliss. From the album's inception, "Kinda Get Funky" sets the tone. It's clear that Leopard & Louis respect the original flight plan of the Mothership, though they draw more of their inspiration from subsequent sons of the "P" such as Zapp or 80's era Cameo. They remain uptempo throughout the entirety of the album, and even when they chill the mood slightly on songs like "Girl Oh Girl" & "I Get Up," it's only to spit a little slickness to the ladies before bumping the bpm's right back to where they were before. The album doesn't stray far from the usual topics of conversation in modern funk - Dancing, women, & funk itself. But such deviation isn't needed; if we're going to bring the party back we've got to stick to the script.

As always, Sleepers takes the time to package the music as thoroughly as it was created, this time in a full-color jacket on yellow vinyl. Limited to only 300 copies!

You Can Leave Me

My first remix for #DeLaSoulRemix25 "All Good?" feat. Chaka Khan. You cannot beat the original version which is a bonafide timeless classic, but i've made this remix feel a little looser with more of a live feel. De La Soul are one of my all time favourite groups since day one so I hope you guys are feelin this version!

All Good? Remix 2

All Good? (Superix AIO Remix v1) #DeLaSoulRemix25

funky instrumental intro]

yea yea ye yeaa


[verse 1]
waiting for the weekend, 
watching TV  all day long, 
guessing where is f loating my partner, 
no one is on the phone

[ refrain]
few  little steps toward  future,
some of them in revers way
moondancing is the culture
I am not dancing anyway

[ instrumental bridge, drums and guitar reefs, choir in the background vocals ]

[ verse 2]

yeah, finaly, normaly, 
someone knocking on the door
from outside to inside ,
enetring black hat is wearing
white collar black shoes

[Bridge]
is this you, Michael?
ye ye yea
Is it you moonwalker?

[ outro]

the doors are open,
footprints on the floor
no one is outside
but you - feel - like better 
having emergency call

[ outro, ending of song with rhytmic drums ]

Waitin' for the Weekend

back 2 life (lucky mix)
