Omegaman returns to Fort Knox Recordings with some brand new funk he has cooked up in his S57 Studios outside of Sydney, Australia.  For this foray, he enlists the powerful rock-n-soul vocals of Emily Molloy who has previously been featured on both Fort Knox Five and Omegaman songs, this being her third on the label.  Together these two have conjured a “hands in the air” booty shaking track that will definitely “Bring Back The Funk.” 

Omegaman brings his decades of experience to the table crafting an infectious groove built on a driving backbeat which is nicely layered with sassy horns and a steady retro “Chic” influenced wah-wah guitar.  Molloy’s soulful and sultry vocals play off the funky vibes and taunt you onto the dance floor as she channels her best Chaka Khan. “The funk will make it better and lift you higher and higher.” The end result is a delicious modern take on a 70s funk track with a little dose of disco thrown in for good measure! 

Together Omegaman and Emily Molloy have created a funky call to arms, so get on down and boogie to this fat slice of funk.  Take note DJs, this tune is guaranteed to put the glide in your stride, and the dip in your hip.  So get hip to it, ya dig?  An instrumental is included for all you DJs and cool cats out there, you know what to do…..

1. Gonna Be Alright ft. Patou & Katherine Vavahea
2. Gonna Be Alright (Instrumental Mix)

Hot on the heels of his recent single “Bring Back The Funk” featuring Emily Molloy, Omegaman returns with “Gonna Be Alright” a soul funk, horn heavy party tune. This track began over a decade ago as a DJ mash-up and Omegaman has been dreaming of rebuilding and creating his own original version since then. The result is a feel good stepper featuring Aussie reggae superstar Patou and the soulful Katherine Vavahea. 

Omegaman’s production style can be heard in the retro guitar chords and crisp breakbeat layered with tons of live vintage instrumentation. With the soulful chant-like vocals by Patou playing off of Katherines “take-em-to-church” call and answer, the track grooves and bounces with a nod to 70s disco funk mashed up with a some 90’s big beat. Working in the studio with Omegaman were some of Sydney’s finest musicians, and singers, including Rhys Franklin, CJ Toop, James Swanson, and Paul Murchison, who all added their flavor to this funky stomper of a track.  Its gonna be alright!

For those that don’t know Pat “Patou” Powell is a legendary Australian musician, of Jamaican descent, who manages to be in 15 bands spread out between Sydney and Melbourne.  He was recently featured in his own Documentary “In Black & White”, covering his more than four decades in the Music industry.  Omegaman has worked closely with the accomplished vocalist on a number of creative projects and really enjoy collaborating together. Known as Sydney’s own soulful songstress, Katherine Vavahea tackles relevant cultural and environmental issues in her music. She and Marc have teamed up for several projects over the last decade with Omegaman producing her album “Mama’s Soul Kitchen.” and featuring her vocals on his Rocksteady EP released almost five years ago on Fort Knox Recordings.

Bring Back The Funk exploded on the scene with it’s groovy, funky disco vibes and Emily Malloy’s soulful and sultry vocals. The track was featured in many DJ sets, mixes, radio shows and even made it to Juno Download’s Recommended Funk of the Month. How do you top that? You get some ultra funky Australian remixers to flip the script.

The past few years have seen a flurry of new releases and remixes by Perth based producer Pecoe. He brings his DJ experience to the table and injects a bit more energy into Bring Back The Funk incorporating some great pianos and percussion. He’s not afraid to chop-up Emilys vocals either, teasing us with some choice samples before letting it drop. The end result is smoking hot and will definitely make booty shake!

Omegaman also tapped fellow Sydney DJ and producer Kris Ramea to remix the track, and he delivers a summertime funky house remix. Bring Back The Funk gets the full disco house treatment here, serving those hand in the air pianos riding on rolling bongos and Malloy’s uplifting diva vocals. This one is gonna get you on the dance floor dancing with a call & response section and its multiple epic builds and breakdowns.

Bring Back The Funk, We Want The Funk.

Both of these great remixes were handcrafted by DJs themselves, so they kept in mind their fellow selectors. and these tra cks work great in any set. Instrumentals of both remixes are also included.

And you don’t stop and you wont stop! Hot on the heels of the Bring Back the Funk Remixed single comes a blistering trio of remixes of Omegaman’s disco soul funk jam Gonna Be alright.

The connections and collaborations between All Good Funk Alliance and Omegaman go all the way to the beginning, and the two artists mutual appreciation of all things funky is encapsulated in this remix. AGFA have rebuilt the track from the ground up, adding some crisp synth work, electro effects, beefed up drums and a sick boogie-on-down rollout to the end. This remix takes the retro funky disco grooves of the original and transforms them into a DISCOTRON 3000 from the future!

The second remix on this single is by Budapest’s own DJ Clairvo, who has done a few remixes on Fort Knox Recordings over the years. This vocal heavy remix highlights the soaring vocals of Katherine Vavahea sitting on top of a bed super funkdafied keys, horns and percussion. This is one of those rare remixes that digs deep into the stems, and pulls out something entirely different than the original composition, A+ grade for creativity here. Mama’s here to testify, “it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright”.

For all the DJs out there, you will love the AGFA Remix as much as we do, and the Clairvo Remix also comes with an instrumental. This is only part one of the Gonna Be Alright Remixes, just wait til you see whats coming down the road….

Earlier this spring Omegaman caused quite a stir releasing two back to back super fire singles, Bring Back The Funk and Gonna Be Alright, and then followed that up dropping a pair of booty shaking remix singles! To top it off, we have saved two heaters from Mr. Doris and Lakeshore Drive to wrap up the series!

Mr. Doris of Ibiza is up first and has stripped the track down to its funky core. Get ready for tambourines, steady clapping and some holy organs propelling the track. Mr. Doris brings his Balearic experience to the table here as disco elements blend with moments of deep tribal beats, gospel and funk. The remix feels almost like you are at an after hours party in Ibiza hanging with old friends and feeling it as the sun starts to rise!

The creative scene of British Columbia in Canada has given us so many great musicians, DJs, producers and vocalists and now to that list we add Lakeshore Drive. The duo doesn’t hold anything back with this remix, starting us off with some, groovy organs, funky wah guitars and horn stabs and then taking us on a glitched-out ride to the funky side. Crank up the volume and feel the bass drop, we have a feeling this one will be heard all summer long on massive festival sound systems. This remix slaps hard!

Don’t you worry bout a thing, it will be alright!

Omegaman’s funky Spring has transformed into a Summer of wicked remixes by some of the globe’s finest producers and Mr. Doris and Lakeshore Drive have wrapped up this series with a bang! This release is a DJ’s dream as both remixes have radio edits, full length remixes and instrumental versions. Lets Go!
