- One of the newest releases to come out of Fingerlickin' comes from a new artist - Stereo 8. Already they've been recieving much praise for this release and have also been busy late touring the UK showcasing their DJ style.
Side A. Groove Diggin'
More of those funky styled breaks that one would expect from Fingerlickin with that housey, stadium rockin Plump DJ's influence. The vocals are sampled from some unknown 70's funk tune and the track is complete with funky guitar stabs, a wicked bassline and a drum beat you can dance to. There's even a nice breakdown in the middle of the song that DJ's better watch out for or this will throw your mix off by one bar.
Side B. Get Above Yourself
Opening up this track is a drum beat that sounds very similar to Jinx's 2001 anthem, Kutt Free with a bit of 80's styled drum taps to make it sound similar to Salt'n'Pepa's push it - that should make an interesting bootleg! Filled with build ups throughout, this tune is something you'd expect from the Plump DJ's with the heavy bass and deep vocals telling listeners to "Get Above Yourself". Add in some 303 squelch and a synth riff near the end and even more build ups ad you've got an awesome tune - definitely one for a loud system.
Fingerlickin bring out some of the best in funky breaks and this release is no exception. Personal pick is Groove Diggin as it gets heads nodding and arses shaking.
