People's Potential Unlimited (PPU) is a very special record label in DC known for discovering and reissuing some of the weirdest and best ultra-rare boogie, funk, and other dance music from the 70s, 80s, 90s as well as a new generation of beat-makers who draw inspiration from these strange worlds of sound.

Started by music fiend Andrew Morgan and operated out of his basement, PPU’s is a world that re-imagines funk as outsider art and cosmic-boogie as a modern variant of folk music. What would it be like if your school janitor made rap music in the broom closet or if someone in middle management still nursed a dream of being the next El Debarge? The label’s roster includes Robbie M., Dwight Sykes, Evans Pyramid, George Franklin Smallwood, Uku Kuut—names found on demo tapes abandoned to time, or else unearthed online. But PPU also pushes the present into the future. Newest members of the PPU family include DC favorite sons Beautiful Swimmers,  Dreamcastmoe, King Pari, PPU VHS Video mulcher Luke Wyatt, LA beathead Benedek, Vancouver space cadets Pender Street Steppers and Miami sound machine Mickey de Grand IV. There's a palpable scent of both mustiness and freshness to be found in all of PPU's grooves though, the smell of funk from a parallel dimension.

NEW SINGLE (SUNRISE) IS AVAILABLE ON ITUNES AND ALL MAJOR DOWNLOAD SITE IN JULY...

Ambush Tactics is the brainchild of lyricist Jim Jennings. Growing up in Winford on the Isle of Wight is about as far away from the grimy streets of London as you can get, and thematically his music follows the same path. Drawing on subject matter that is closer to home; blue skies, green fields, and a dissatisfaction of the system. 

You can catch Ambush Tactics all throughout 2011 at; Festival slots with Born ina Barn at The Boomtown Fair, Aeon, IOW Festival and both Bestivals. Solo live shows, at the Blacksheep Bar and Scorpion Sounds on the Isle of Wight, and on the Rustik Records radio show on DEX FM (www.dexfm.co.uk)
