The Kanpai Quartet
Rick James Dwells in the Abyss
(Palace)
At last we can finally reveal to you today some serious heat coming out of London on the Palace Records imprint. Leading funk protagonists The Kanpai Quartet are set to turn the world on its head with a heavy dose of funk from their creative lab. On this their debut forty-five for the Palace Records label they prove to us that this crew have arrived and brought with them a wealth of creative muscle spread over two sides of their debut release. ‘Rick James Dwells In The Abyss’ is an upbeat jazz funk monster that will shake up the club no matter where in the world you rock this. Solid, crisp drums usher in the sound of The Kanpai Quartet and we simply can’t get enough. On the flip, they deliver an infectious moody low slung library cut that is giving us all the feels thanks to writer/producer Andrei Nikolsky's knack of what works.
We can’t wait for a full length from these guys but in the meantime head over to the Palace Records Bandcamp page secure this 45 today while you can.
