Dusk Till Dawn

After a four year break from the studio, L.A.'s finest practitioners of party funk and breaks, Breakestra, return to the fray with a brand new studio album on Strut! Dusk Till Dawn explores all colors of the funk spectrum. Built around the vision of "Music Man" Miles and Mixmaster Wolf (as well as producing, Miles plays drums, bass, guitars, keys and percussion on the record), the trademark Breakestra touches remain intact: Wolf fronts tough breakbeat jams "Dark Clouds Rain Soul" and Stones Throw single "Low Down Stank"; Miles himself brings his soulful vocals to "Need a Little Love" and "I Don't Wanna Wait" and amazing new female vocalist Afrodyete recalls the heyday of JB's Funky People on the terrific "Come On Over." The album even journeys into psychedelic soul (on the fuzzy "Show Me the Way") and stripped-back New Orleans organ stylings on instrumental cut "North-East to Nippon".
