Producer Nitram Zeus and vocalist Drina J join forces to bring you two slabs of sophisticated modern funk in all of its glowing neon glory. "All Night Long" makes no attempt to conceal its obvious dance floor appeal. Quantized synth-drenched grooves reminiscent of The System combine with an intensity to evoke thoughts of peak hour movement at Paradise Garage. Drina J's performance shines through beautifully and balances the retro-future production of the song with more contemporary vocal stylings. On "Love Language," the duo is joined by Temu who contributes his own vocal alongside Drina over a more midtempo track that glistens with icy DX7 chords, and should be well-received by anyone following the current resurgence of the UK street soul subgenre.

As always, we're bringing these two gems into physical form with a limited blue vinyl 7" plus picture cover, limited to just 150 copies!

Nitram Zeus is back for his second release with Sleepers, and from the jump it's clear why he couldn't stay away for too long. This burgeoning modern funk producer is clearly full of dance floor fillers and is ready to share them. His latest singles, "Rock Wit' U" (feat. Mishell Ivon) & "Automatic" (feat. Drina J) follow very similar blueprints, and upon listening, it's clear why - the formula (and the funk) is on point; why change a good thing? Both songs are rooted in the synthesizer bounce of modern day boogie funk, twisted with moody pad/chords that also give these two tracks a more cosmic, late night appeal that may even touch some deep house heads. "Rock Wit' U" & "Automatic" are also arranged and written with a clear pop sensibility that could easily make both tracks into staples on dance floors, DJ streams, & the headphones of funk enthusiasts worldwide.

Both songs will be available in physical form, on pink 7" vinyl, limited to only 150 copies so get yours quickly!

Out Now on Vinyl at https://thesleepersrecordz.bandcamp.com/album/the-secret-satisfied-with-my-love

Native Bay Area vocalist Adesha first delved into the neon-lit chambers of modern synth funk in 2019 with the release of her single "Just Groove," a collaboration with Australian DJ/producer Vincent Kwok. Fast forward one rotation around the sun, and you will find her in the company of Sleepers Recordz for her next foray into the genre, "The Secret" & "Satisfied With My Love?"

Working with Kwok again on production, both of these tunes allow you to stay warm under a comfortable blanket of nostalgia, via the use of familiar keyboards, plus DMX and 808 drum sounds. The synth work might evoke thoughts of Kashif or Jam & Lewis from the SOS Band era, yet Adesha's sultry vocals may give you a feeling more akin to 90's R&B. It's a pleasant pairing, made even more so with a contemporary sense of arrangement that allows this duo of songs to fly well beyond simply playing on a listener's memories of the past. In short, the influences are clear but Adesha puts a brand new spin on the sound. And so the funk continues.

Sleepers adds another volume to their latest run of limited edition vinyl, with "The Secret" & "Satisfied With My Love?" pressed as a run of only 100, on blue colored wax.

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.
