Deep N Funky House - American West Coast pioneering rave royalty Doc Martin teams up with Boston bred DJ hero Charlie Soul Clap for a power packed extra dance floor friendly new release. Enter the Freaks Of The Valley! Aptly named after a weekend of music production in Sherman Oaks (aka home of Cobra Kai, lol) at Doc's former home studio, this release ranges from the ironic '2 Degenerates & A Drum Machine' house slammer to the amped up and saturated 'Always Have Acid', with a bonus version for ya Booty, IYKYA! =] More from
For the latest drop on their occasional House of EFunk imprint, Soul Clap has joined forces with Californian house legend Doc Martin with predictably impressive results. A-side '2 Degenerates & A Drum Machine' doffs a cap to both vintage East Coast deep house and the dubby, hypnotic take on house music that became the hall mark of the West Coast house scene in the mid 1990s. Over on side B we're treated to two mixes of 'Always Have Acid': a squelchy, off-kilter original version that adds mind-mangling TB-303 motifs and dreamy, glassy-eyed vocal samples (lifted from a very unlikely source) to a tough drum machine beat, while the 'Organ Mix' re-casts it as a tough, non-stop jack-track with clipped organ stabs and razor-sharp acid lines.
