Release Notes:
Donaeo's debut album 'Party Hard' could be considered as something of a
milestone within the now established Funky scene, posited as only the
second full length album to have emerged from the nascent scene after
Geeneus' pivotal 'Volumes: One'. The producer/DJ/Singer has been doing
his thing as a garage/Urban linchpin under the Mr Fidget alias for some
years before the Funky template was borne from the nourishing rhythms
of Garage, R'nB, US House and West London Broken Beat. His unavoidable
hits 'Devil In A Blue Dress', 'African Warrior' and the awesome 'Party
Hard' have rightfully elevated his profile over the last 12 months,
leading to this well polished and realised debut album. Rubbing up next
to those cuts are a selection of flexing party tracks from the
slow-junglist opener 'Riot Music to the hard drums and sexy
syncopations of 'Watching Her Move' or the serious Broken-Afro-Beat
highlight 'Forbidden Fruit'. West African flavours burst through on
'Mind Your Business' while the tuff Kanye-style 808 plus autotune
workout on 'Be Mine' should leave a few heads spinning. Admittedly the
vocals will ward-off a huge number of you but if you can just let your
guard down for 40 mins the majority of this album will really appeal to
lovers of everything from deep house to the more rhythmic side of
Dubstep. With players like Donaeo, Cooly G and Roska representing the
sexy but darkly tinted club flavour of UK Funky the scene is in very
safe hands and we're just waiting to hear what happens next.
