'Somebody' is the first single from the new Aurra album ‘Body Rock’ due out later this year on Family Groove Records.
Once again the world gets to experience a lost disco-funk masterpiece providing another glimpse into the genius mind of Slave founding-member Steve Washington & Brides Of Funkenstein / P-Funk singer Sheila Horne. Body Rock will be the second and final unearthing of the lost but found Master Tapes originally recorded for Quincy Jones' Qwest imprint in 1984. Slap Bass, heavy synths, Linn Drum, sultry vocals... this is Modern Funk at it's finest!
The 24-track master tapes were transferred digitally and then mixed on an SSL board by Kamal Humphrey at his all-analog Flying Carpet Studios in Los Angeles. The result is a full sound enhanced by the natural analog process using today's digital technology only when needed to clean up the files.
DāM-FunK adds a bit of dirt and grime by putting his signature Re-Freak on the track.
A confirmation from Los Angeles’ Ambassador of Boogie Funk that this is in fact the the
un-cut funk and nothing but the funk.
