King Kooba return with their third EP of their trilogy of genres, this time focusing on downbeat jazztronics. The midtempo grooves that made standout albums like NuFoundFunk so beloved. Doh Zen is an electric piano, breaks and bass rolling groover, complete with string stabs and global atmospherics reminiscent of the classic Om Lounge series.

King Kooba – Fooling Myself (Easy Access Orchestra Mix)
100% vibe throughout and still sounds fresh so many moons later.
- Originally released on ‘Nufoundfunk’ in 2000

Lyrics:

In the isle of the Unification, yeah

[Chorus]
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thripney bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

This is how we knead dough, how we make bread
Word edible, many may eat what I said
Treat what I said like it's some deep shit
Straight from the abyss, my French kiss
Smack my rooney, black butter moon is
Which past the moon the gunga peas cooked up
Hooked up with soul but no sound for clearance
Bastard, got no home and no parents

Just be just, just just about just me
That's why none of you here could ever trust me
Got the need to secure my future
Beautiful dudeness, salute my yutes for
Them type of scroll a heart reflection
love vivisection
I dedicate this to all the peeps who keep the culture
You my sculpture!
 
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

Lived for more than a thousand days straight
Twisted, looking inside my self-hate
The more I study, the less I know
And my hippie mind tells me to go with the flow
So whatchasayin' brother brother
Whatchasayin' mother mother
Whatchasayin' sister sister
Love to love and oh daddy
We can't forget your part, in many cases
We may regret your part
And it's harsh, the life lesson that the schools don't teach
For whom the heart beats to reach out to love
Sacred feeling, [?] I keep the guts love
Brenda, she's pregnant? Yes mama
Triple blackness? Whoa, smells like death
Triple blackness? Whoa, smells like life
Close to paradise where the gods were near
Those that don't hear will definitely feel
Real deal, keeping it meal, keeping it glutton
Everything is everything, nothing ain't nothing
 
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh
Ain't a problem that the love can't fix
Though I'm down to my thrupenny bits I must admit that
Less is more, more is less
In the struggle, this might keep my mind fresh

People Under The Stairs – Turfbuilders (Demo)
Turfbuilders (Demo),’ is an unreleased track from Los Angeles legends People Under The Stairs. This one just oozes all things good and funky.

Lyrics:

We step on stage
From state to state
And measure all weight with a 
crate slingin’
Hustlers juggling twelves
Smuggling this real s
Snoopy might sniff it
And customs they might check it
Then punks open it up
Suitcase be full of records
Visa stamp, he’s a champ
Let him through to interlude
At hotels tell them bellboys we rule
 
The people gon raise the roof like amish folk
Then let the sucka burn like the traumatize smoke
Me and the big loc billy goatin’ the local dames
Where they not only know the name
But happy we came
 
So here it is
Rockin’ live
Just me and my buddies
Controlling the kids through music like Teletubbies
Best under the sun
And relatively lovely
Brixton dub me
Hard hitting rugby
Rhythms be getting em bubbly the clubs be spinnin’
So funked up they get home and can’t sleep on it
You gonna throw it up when you see the P on it
Honestly, the tonic and gin is my Huckelberry Fin
A lot of adventures I don’t know where to begin, mannnnnn
What was I sayin while that P Funk be playing
Man you’re rocking with the Jazz, The Thes The Double K and
 
With the love in the town
Pump me up
Yo we covering ground
Now the P be pumping it up
By tearing it down
And you love this sound
(x2)
 
Bust it out, straighten up
Gettin’ busy like a high-top fade
I rock the get better for the letter the P
The go getter of fresh s
Double and the Peruvian
The ones you should mess with
We mess with funky loops
And go together like toast and orange juice
Made America hang loose
Broke up the gang truce
Stole the spruce goose and got fly on em
Columbian neck tie on em
Pumpin like a Newport in rhymes
I wrote em in color
And every letter was the difference
They say I’m spliference in your perriference
But I stay out of sight
Put a citation on your microphone
So leave Mike alone
When he doing his thang
And hearing the big bang
Hear Parliament sang
If ya hear any noise, its just me and the boys
Just getting drunk and doing what we known for
From Fort Collins to Sac Town back down to San Dog
With your man and dem, bought a can with them
Back for the first time
Equivalent to crime in the streets
Out of control like Wild teenagers with pagers
 
Swearing in the name of your savior
I get funky like Deuteronomy
No one be ever harmin’ me
MC’s be tauntin me
But I strike down from the heavens of dopeness
You can quote this
Tell em I meant every word and verb
Smash your kids with adjectives
No additives, those are pro now, it’s like oh wow
 
With the love in the town
Pump me up
Yo we covering ground
Now the P be pumping up
By tearing it down
You love this sound
(x2)

People Under the Stairs - Turfbuilders (Demo)

Om Records is celebrating twenty-five years in the game! What started out as a little label on Haight Street in San Francisco, has grown into a breeding ground for underground talent producing some of the greatest in the electronic, house, downtempo and hip-hop world. One of the legends to call Om home dating back to his early days of Mushroom Jazz is nonother than the maestro himself, Mark Farina. On “The Story,” Mark teams up with collaborator Homero Espinosa to create the groove heavy statement piece “The Story”. Heavy horn stabs and organ slabs ride on the steady breakbeat reminiscent of classic years gone by with a message still focused on the here and now.

“The story didn’t end there, so we didn’t stop there…”

Chuck Love & Fourfeet – Let’s Go Back
Chuck Love & Fourfeet deliver with ‘Let’s Go Back,’ a song that harkens back to the beginning with a dirty growly bass line that then seamlessly blends into disco. 

Lyrics:

One is the loneliest number 
Life can lose it’s wonder 
Chasing someone else’s 
Dream

Far from where you started 
Before the broken hearted 
When being free was everything 

Let’s go back to when we started
Before the time of the broken hearted 

X2

When your heart was true 
And still belonged to you

The little label in San Francisco has grown into a breeding ground for underground talent, producing some of the greatest in the electronic, house, downtempo and hip-hop world. Brooklyn’s Body Language return with the third single Let’s Try, an electronic boogie future anthem for today’s chaotic times. Dreamy synths lead into a deep bass and steady break that rides the groove. “We’ve gotta slow it down, slow it down…we should try to get to know each other.” A song of longing and human connection, amidst all the chaos of daily life. 

“Let’s find a place away from others, we should try, we should try.”
