Title track ‘Love Runaway’ features criminally underheard Tamara Lee on vocals and co-writing duties. LA funk/R&B/future twang auteur Harriet Brown (Innovative Leisure, Phantom Island, World Building) provides guest vocals on the EP’s second original track, ‘Crimped Hair’. On the flip, Ray Mang delivers a masterclass in honing ‘Love Runaway’ for peak dancefloor effect in a choice of extended remix or dubby reprise.

As the sun-drenched months descend upon us, Joey Negro &amp; The Sunburst Band unleash their highly anticipated 4th studio album titled ‘The Secret Life Of Us’ on Z Records. Packed with Sunburst signature sounds - a lush cross pollinating hot soul, jazz, funk, electro-boogie and disco dazzlers, ‘The Secret Life Of Us’ is their most exciting adventure into modern soulful music yet! Who could resist the catchy Chic style disco of the title track with its story of an illicit affair or the witty, “this woman wears the trousers”, 2 step boogie 'My Way'.

 

Things get jazzier on the moody electro 'Jazz The DMX' with Blue Note piano and dubby weirdness, while the rolling down tempo pimp groove of 'Opus de Soul' has beautiful lush live strings that even Barry White might be proud of. Even echoes of the Doobie Brothers resonate through 'Caught In The Moment'. The album also features their glimmering disco-tinged outing, 'In The Thick Of It’, which hit the Traxsource No.1 spot in just 4 days of release! What is common throughout ‘The Secret Life Of Us’ is the attention to detail and labour of love that's gone into crafting this wonderful collection of fantastic songs, all performed by a truly heavyweight collective of talent!

"Making a Sunburst Band album can be bit of a slog, be it a mainly pleasant slog. All those days and nights spent sweating heavily over the mixing desk take their toll on even the best-made pair of disco underpants ;-). As cheesy as it may sound I'm doing this because I love it and I want to put the musicality and craftsmanship from the music I grew up with into The Sunburst Band" - Joey Negro

‘The Secret Life Of Us’ features band members who regularly play live around the world headed by singers Pete Simpson and Donna Gardier. The nucleus of Tony Remy (guitar), Julian Crampton (bass) and Frank Tontoh (drums) are also joined by a selection of vocal stars from the soulful scene including Angela Johnson, Noelle Scaggs, Darien and Vivienne McKone. Combine this standard of musicianship with strong songs and Dave's sharp arrangements and you've got a potent brew both in the studio and on the live stage. Joey co-wrote most of the songs with Diane Charlemagne, who many will know from Goldie's ‘Inner City Life’. “Diane is super talented and writes with wit and intelligence”, says Joey. Diane also performs vocals on ‘My Way’, 'Definition of Love' and the album title track with Donna Gardier. 

“Normally I start writing a song with keys and vocals, until I'm totally happy with the melodic structure and lyrics. Once I'm sure it's up to scratch I get the band in and always make sure I record a performance - that's crucial. I want the playing to intensify and go somewhere but without loosing the groove" - Joey Negro

Neo funk rising star Buscrates aims high with Blasting Off, his 
first full-length album. The Pittsburgh-based keyboard 
cosmonaut has been grabbing ears since his days hooking up 
beats with the hip hop crew East Liberty Quarters, but after 
slinging spicy one-offs to a slew of hot labels like Omega 
Supreme, Voyage Funktastique and Razor N Tape (as well as 
contributing production to Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y’s 2009 
project), the time has come for a full-length featuring his 
growing modern funk repertoire. 
“I’m a ‘90s hip hop dude, but I grew up on that ‘80s funk stuff,” 
Buscrates acknowledges. DJ gigs provided a working 
knowledge of the jams that moved a contemporary crowd, and 
as his collection of keyboards and drum machines grew he 
began blending the best of both decades with his personal 
futuristic edge. “I was nice on the MPC but I wanted to have a 
little more dynamic range with what I was doing,” he notes. The 
self-described “certified synth geek” was soon branching into 
sounds that recalled ‘80s legend Kashif crossed with the hip 
hop bounce of DJ Spinna, and the modern funk community took 
notice. 

For his first full-length, Buscrates has crewed up with an ace 
team of collaborators, featuring vocalist Sally Green on the 
bouncy lead single “Lost And Found” and “Eight Nine.” Kate 
Moe Dee takes over mic duties for the second single, “How Ya 
Gonna Do It,” a slinky groove that slides in place alongside 
groups like the Sunburst Band and Rene & Angela as an 
exemplar of sophisticated R&B. Adding to those credentials are 
the sultry vocals of Anda on “Believe,” but of course, it wouldn’t 
be a Buscrates set without some stank, neck-snapping 

instrumentals. “Five Days” and “Sure Shot,” both collabos with 
the drum technician DJ Epik, will rattle speakers and have 
already been lighting up message boards on recent Buscrates 
DJ sets. Round things out with some easy gliding, jazzy funk 
(“Turn It Out” with Brothermartino on flute and “Evergreen” 
featuring Tony Ozier) and you’ve got all the ingredients for a 
high-flying cosmic ride with Buscrates at the controls.
