The funkiest record you'll hear all year, I say so. :) Another strictly limited edition 7" and digital release from London-based funkateers Fresh Up Records, a label specialising in brand-new, old-sounding synth funk, Moog disco and library sounds. Fresh Up Players are a group of session musicians recording their dusty Moog funk jams direct to analogue tape in a smoky London studio. "Blip Culture" is the kind of record Dick Hyman might have made if he'd ever visited the BBC Radiophonic Workshop: a greasy funk jam punctuated by the rawest analogue bleeps and whooshes. "Lemon Drops" highlights the Fender Rhodes electric piano which takes the lead over another dirty funk rhythm. This time the drummer plays the hi-hat stand instead of the hi-hat and bass duties were fulfilled by our Roland Transistor Bass 303 unit.
