Funk Dreams Pt. 2 (The Remix)

MellowDrama

Available on a 7" Pink Vinyl at www.thesleepersrecordz.com (150 copies pressed only - UltraLimited Edition)

The vocal/production duo of Adesha and Vincent Kwok return to Sleepers with their second release on the label, "Life's Too Short" / "Blame Game." Both tracks embody the essence of dance floor readiness, but refreshingly, they do so in different ways. "Life's Too Short" is straight ahead modern boogie, melding delicious synth lines and Paradise Garage vibes to create a pulsating, peak-hour groove. The lyrics tell a familiar story of ending the hesitation and embracing love to the fullest, yet as people seek some sort of return to their pre-2020 lives, the song's mantra feels timely. It subtly encourages fears to be overcome and anticipation for real-world socializing to be built.

The glacial groove of "Blame Game" places it within the same party, only a bit earlier in a night when BPM's are a few notches lower and moods are still being established. The heavy use of DX7 chords set a pleasantly cool tone, while frenetic staccato bass notes underpin it all, giving you the first inklings of the evening that it's time to finish your drink and shuffle towards the dance floor.

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

Blame Game

Buy on Vinyl

Available on limited colored vinyl LP, Digital & Streaming.
As music in the digital age seems to be shifting back to a 60's era emphasis on singles over albums, those who clamor for a full-length installment of music from their favorite artists have found their thirst increasingly unquenched. Enter Leopard DaVinci & Louis 707, who are boldly filling this gap in modern funk music with their LP "Make The Party Great Again."

Living through an era of social distancing, event cancellations, and venue closures, making the party thrive as it once did is no small task, but this French synth-funk duo come across as extraordinarily energized to meet the challenge. It feels like every synthesizer sound ever conceived somehow lives within their arsenal, as a colorful blend of analog tones and back-cracking handclaps form the foundation for pure boogie bliss. From the album's inception, "Kinda Get Funky" sets the tone. It's clear that Leopard & Louis respect the original flight plan of the Mothership, though they draw more of their inspiration from subsequent sons of the "P" such as Zapp or 80's era Cameo. They remain uptempo throughout the entirety of the album, and even when they chill the mood slightly on songs like "Girl Oh Girl" & "I Get Up," it's only to spit a little slickness to the ladies before bumping the bpm's right back to where they were before. The album doesn't stray far from the usual topics of conversation in modern funk - Dancing, women, & funk itself. But such deviation isn't needed; if we're going to bring the party back we've got to stick to the script.

As always, Sleepers takes the time to package the music as thoroughly as it was created, this time in a full-color jacket on yellow vinyl. Limited to only 300 copies!
