Hands down.

Funk 80s — a recent find from local flea lot. From the album “Out Loud”. A trio of Nile Rodgers, Feli­cia Collins, and Philippe Saisse = Out­loud. Video is “all dig­i­tal”. Very retro-future-fashionist from today’s point of view? (Talk­ing ’bout the video.)

Music from and inspired by Finnish sketch com­edy shows Pult­ti­bois and Man­it­bois. Might have some added value for Finns but cer­tainly you’ll be able to enjoy the mix on it’s own! The music here ranges from the years 1985 to 1990. A melt­ing pot of delight­ful new jack swing, hip-house, breaks, funk and house with dis­tinc­tive Pirkka-Pekka Petelius-style, who is widely known as a reg­gae enthusiast.

Musi­ikkia ja vaikut­teita sket­sis­ar­joista Pult­ti­bois ja Man­it­bois. Mukana myös muita saman­henkisiä biisejä. Hymy­i­lyt­tävää ja raa­joja liikut­tavaa meininkiä. Sar­jat sisäl­sivät aikanaan paitsi mieleen­painu­via hokemia, myös ajanko­htaista musi­ikkia eri gen­reistä. Pirkka-Pekka mitä helevettiä?

Jatkamme, saamme ken­ties elää.

Oh yes.

HUH & HAH! Upright bass. Jimi Hen­drix looks. John Coltrane poster on the wall. Sin­cer­ity of Bernard. The break­down part of the song start­ing at 2:27. Not a sin­gle mis­step in the video — or in the song. Pure aes­thetic pleasure.
