Funkanizer and S Strong, Greece’s premier beat-makers, have teamed up once again to bring you a follow-up to their debut EP released seven little years ago.

The pair are well known for their choice selection in samples, crisp drums, and top-of-the-range production skills, and Groove Gigolos Vol 2 does not disappoint.

From the soul-laden rhythms of Gigolo Claps to the swing beats of Caution, and the infectious rhythm of Baby Cream to the hypnotic head-nodder that is Umami – there’s something for everyone on this release, each funky enough to turn anyone into a disco dancing Groove Gigolo.

Mixed & mastered @ Sonic Arts Productions Studio (www.sonicarts.gr)

"A Message To You Rudy ft. Lucy Vella"
by Omegaman
FKX138 - Fort Knox Recordings

Out Worldwide - Friday December 10th, 2021
https://orcd.co/undercovers

If you've been paying attention to Omegaman over the past few years, you have seen him flexing his ska, rocksteady and reggae skills, often featuring incredible vocalists and guest musicians on his tracks. Omegaman recently produced a side project for the teen cancer awareness fundraiser The Specialized Project (UK) / SpecialOzd (AU), and the results are these two incredible cover tunes. Again, utilizing his ska background and some of Aussie's finest musicians and vocalists to reinterpret two classic tunes from the late 1970s.

The Specials big hit from 1979, “A Message To You Rudy”, has been tweaked with a swinging backbeat and the sweet sounds of Sydney vocalist Lucy Vella. Adding some serious ska credentials to the track is a killer brass arrangement by The Skastards and the whole band itself is a virtual Ska all-star ensemble. Always a crowd favorite, this version of Message To You does not disappoint, and will get even the jaded rudeboys shufflin.

The second track covered is a bit more obscure, the Aussie New Wave band Mental As Anything's hit tune “If You Leave Me (Can I Come Too?).” This cover version outdoes the original by featuring Patou of Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Allniters & Club Ska on vocals. The track itself is boosted up to a surf 'n' ska type of groove with skanking guitars and crisp drum breaks. The end result is a much more upbeat and optimistic tune than the original, Can I Come Too?

Just in time for Aussie summer, these tracks are perfect for surf camp, road trips, house parties and everything in between. Instrumentals are included as well, which really gives the listener a chance to absorb the incredible musicianship on both tracks. Retro-classic Ska style artwork by Peter Metro for Metro Co.

When we play music for others we experience reading the emotion of the crowd and then adjusting our music to meet their mood and then elevate it. 
Even though we're interacting with hundreds or maybe thousands, while a therapist is working with just one person at a time, the same principal applies: meet the client where they are, then help them to get somewhere better.
Some things that have been said about me
"Like if a shark and a lazer made friends - banging" - Happy Belly Music
"You're so good you broke me ears" - Elliot (who now suffers from superior canal dehiscence syndrome. CT Scan available upon request)
"You're mixing's scaring me" - Ricardo, some guy at a party
"Are you the best DJ in the world?" - random girls comments after various gigs
"I really cringed when they said they were having a DJ but I love it, it's great music" - an exhibitor at a gallery opening party
"It's helping me do housework" - My neighbour Lucy
""I just absolutely plastered the wall and curtain in red wine with my wavy arm because of that tune! Going to have to switch to Prosecco now as the red wine is all over the wall"  Sarah - whilst listening to 'The Breakdown with My therapist' on Cutters Choice Radio
"You like a good remix don’t you" My friend Rob when it was my turn to play tunes on a long car journey
"This is mad. In a good way". Dtism, listener on Cutters Choice Radio
