Entries about the music I like.
Funktuation – Funk Katcheri
I’ve been listening to Chennai-based Funktuation’s 2019 EP, Funk Katcheri. The songs on the EP are mostly sung by Benny Dayal, known for his work on Rahman-composed songs like Pappu Can’t Dance, Nazrein Milana Nazrein Churana, Rehna Tu, etc. It’s a straightforward Tamil electro-funk EP, with its first two songs, Oora Paaru and Poovey being the EP’s standouts.
Thiago Nassif — Mente
Mente navigates seamlessly through avant-garde experiments, while also showcasing its pop sensibilities. There’s no wave infused with funk, pop infused with dissonant jazz. Melody + noise. Over its ten-track run, Nassif collaborates with 20 musicians from the Rio underground, chiefly Arto Lindsay, the album’s producer.
The tracks the made Age
An introduction to a new Akhil Srivatsan Track called Age, with a playlist of tracks that inspired it including some from Washed Out, Peggy Gou, Ross From Friends, Hercules and Love Affair, and Funktuation.
