Afrika Baambaata proves to be an outstanding choice for this, the final United DJ's of America compilation of the century. Bam was around when Hip-Hop was born and has been actively involved in the electro scene for decades. On "Electro funk breakdown" he artfully mixes up a number of tracks which will probably be unknown to todays electronica trendies. While some of the tracks do sound a bit cheesy and dated, one has to respect them for what they represent - foundations for a lot of other electonic music. Bam's mixing is on point and I thoroughly enjoyed being taken on a journey through electro funk and looped old school vocal samples. [7/10] |
