Asbury Park 45 Sessions x Metromix

I thought that the Flea Market Funk extended family would like to see some more photos from the last 45 Sessions on June 12th, 2009. They were taken by Mike Mclaughlin, local photog hero. Check out all the photographs here on the Jersey Shore Metro Mix. We’re also going to be in the Islander newspaper this week as well, so if you’re in Jersey, pick it up. Cheers to the Asbury Park Press for giving us some shine this past session. Keep Diggin”

The Soul Investigators – Brown Sauce

Download or Listen to The Soul Investigators – Brown Sauce from the Timmion Records 45

Well, as I promised last week, I have 2 more Soul Investigators sides to review, this being the second one. I had an overwhelming response with the first side, so I’m excited to get this one out. The first installment of the FMF Sticker series are here. I will be selling them singly for a bit, but only in a limited quantity. The rest will be for the 4 part Series. So if you’re jonesing to get you Flea Market Funk on and you want to represent, you can Pay Pal me at djprestige@djprestige.net. US orders are $1 for the sticker and 50 cents for postage, International orders are $1 for the sticker and $1.50 for postage. Please specify the quantity of stickers you want. That being said, let’s get into another great side by The Soul Investigators on Timmion Records. Here’s “Brown Sauce”, Timmion #017.

Starting off with some heavy drums, “Brown Sauce” moves right into some decent Hammond organ and just takes you away. It’s drums/ guitar combo remind me of a lost Meters track that was eventually sampled by Premier for another break-neck beat. However funky Jukka’s drums are, and Pete and Sami’s guitar/bass combinations slam it, the sound that resonates throughout the song and brings it to the next level is Antti’s organ. It moves you man, from start to finish. I know it’s 2009, but really I’m feeling 1971. I’m feeling like I’m in some chicken shack of a bar, drinking a Schaeffer from a pop top can, and dressed in my best Saturday night outfit. This is how music should be made. I know I’m partial to the Hammond organ, but hell, this track smokes. I urge all of you to get over to the Timmion site and buy it. I’ll see you Friday with some more goodness. Keep Diggin’!
