There was a murky smell lingering in the basement of the club. It buzzed and hummed as the band began to strike up their next track. The crowd of onlookers watched on eagerly expecting the best but fearing the worst. Funk wasn't dead but it smelt funny as hell down here in the damp cellar of the old town dive bar. A dim red light hung flickering above the black door and the wooden floors creaked beneath every tap of a foot. How the hell where you supposed to dance in here? 

Knowsum features on Money $ex Records with a new LP titled 'Play God And Shit Happens'. He brings life back to the funk and plays out a soulful blend of beats, groove and jazz.
