CALL 911 – FUNKERMAN DROPS A BOMB!

As we write this press release, Dutch DJ and producer Funkerman is deep in the middle of a three week North American assault that has seen him take in a host of cities across the continent, from Chicago to San Diego through to Miami and New York City on the East.

It’s appropriate then that one of the founding fathers of Flamingo Recordings should choose to release NYPD as the next single on the European-based imprint. Revitalized for the 21st century by DJ Delicious and Till West and following on from their huge smash hit Same Man, the track comes with additional remixes from Funkerman and Alisson & Turner.

A progressive beast that has become a trademark sound for DJ Delicious and Till West, NYPD rolls with techno beats and an electro chic. Sitting comfortably on the most hardened dance floor as it would the most glamorous NYC hotspot, its bassline intertwines with its high synth sisters to make for a driving late night main room rocker.

Funkerman's own remix not only captures the groove New York is famed for but offers up a succession of beats straight out of the techno manual. A darker affair than the original, he showcases an ability to capture the sound of the moment yet not distance himself from his funkier roots. Fierce vocal stabs, a driving melody and a string of sounds effects ciphered straight from what could be a 1980's computer game, he delivers a perfect peak time tune with no hint of the NYPD blues.

Last but by no means least, Allison and Turner take the synths and multiply ten-fold to serve up another monster fit for any club. Enhancing those synths and the bass line from the original makes for a more intense experience whilst loading up on yet more techno beats.

DJ Delicious and Till West – NYPD (Funkerman Remix) is released through Flamingo Recordings and available from today through various download portals.
