Deep Funk — All Formats  

The album's got a great old style cover – and a wonderful groove to match – plenty of cosmic beats and spacey keyboards from Eric Lau, plus some other sweet touches as well! The set's more in a funk mode overall – and one that will definitely please fans of the spacier side of the 70s spectrum – almost a distillation of territory spanned by cats like Herbie Hancock or Ronnie Foster, but filtered into a 21st Century aesthetic too – so that the best bits come to the forefront, and really give the album a lean sort of crackle. Most of the record is instrumental, and titles include "Cruise Control", "Sometime", "Home Run", "PPG", "Warp", "Minnie", "Love Love Love", "What's Going Down", "Noma", "Give Light Give Love", and "Change".

Sureshot steps up his game with Elegant Aggression – his most expertly orchestrated set of cinematic hip hop funk to date! The mix of funky beatcraft and live instrumentation here is as strong as anything we've heard from Sureshot Symphony to date – and it's pretty diverse, too – without ever compromising on the tight hip hop funk backdrop. Instrumentation includes lots of funky bass and keys – with some synth, psych funk guitar, horns and more. There's an eclectic batch of mic guests, too – including Coultrain, Moeses Soulright, Mighty Pope, Myron & E, Glen Ricketts & Mad Fanatic, Ohmega Watts and others. Includes "Sureshot Symphony Solution Theme", "Chair On The Ceiling" with Coultrain, "Half Man, Half Bionic", "Four Twenty", "Taste It", Singing Memories" with Noel Ellis, "Easier Said Than Done" feat Ion Anomaly, "Soundbwoy Massacre" feat Glenn Ricketts & Mad Frantic and more. Comes with the bonus LP of instrumentals!
