After the success of Captain Planet's "Speakin Nuyorican" EP, which sold out out
across the board in record time, and saw it's tracks appearing on both HBO'S
Entourage and CBS's CSI:NY - Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz Recordings has decided to
digitally release Captain Planet's very first 12" - "The Gumbo Funk EP" with two
bonus tracks not included on the vinyl.
Originally self-released in '05 and unquestionably ahead of it's time, Captain
Planet"s "Gumbo Funk" bridges globally scattered genres such as Salsa, Samba,
Afrobeat, Bollywood, Dancehall, Disco and Hip-Hop with the universal love of a
danceable breakbeat. Tightly woven layers of syncopated percussion build the
foundation for piercing horn blasts, driving bass riffs, wah-wah guitars, jazzy
keyboard vamps, and reinterpreted vocal samples. Gumbo Funk is exactly what it sounds
like: a cross-cultural cornucopia of sound. Produced entirely in a Brooklyn bedroom,
Captain Planet takes the DIY approach to music making in the likes of contemporary
sampledelic funkateers Quantic, Madlib, and Beatfanatic. All appreciators of Thievery
Corporation"s "Outernational" sound, J-Boogie"s "Dubtronic Science", or the feel-good
"Turntables On The Hudson" party should pick up this E.P. without a second thought.
