Citinite x Luckyme Mix du Funk
We’re obsessed with London-based label Citinite, both for their roster of futuristic electronic funkyshit (Sweat.X, Gosub, Rozzi Daime) and the warpspeed space of their cover art, all crafted by label owner Manuel Sepulveda, who we interviewed in FADER #63. Clearly we have a mindmeld going on with them, because their next party with LuckyMe features our latest coverstar Dam-Funk, along with Rustie, Jimmy Edgar and Gosub. Manuel made this dope mix to portend what Citinite may have in its future and to get us ramped up for the show we can’t go to (sorry dudes we’ll be in New York), but if you’re in London, prepare to be rocked by deep crevices of synth bass and people who can possibly dance better than anyone. Further evidence we are sharing the same spiritual plane: he included Lil Kenny in the first five minutes, our biggest obsession right after Sweat.X’s Spoek Mathambo. Wild! Jump the jump for tracklist and flyer.

Sweat.X, South Africa’s digitized descendants of Prince (early years), are dropping a new EP on Citinite, whose purveyor Manuel Sepulveda happens to be featured in FADER #63 for his futurefunk sleeve artwork for those guys and others (check the cover for this one after the jump). Like Jem says, synergy! “I’m That Alley,” a slinky electro synth track with a dollop of sexy falsetto from superman Spoek Mathambo, drops August 24 and foretells copius dancefloor slow-grinds—not quite “Erotic City” flagrant dry-humping but definitely on point for “Controversy”-style understated freakage. The B-Side, “The Knife,” is a twitchy, nasty, twerky rap track with Spoek dropping some of his infamously swaggy self-invented slang, which is to say you’d do well to cop that in anticipation of their next full-length, 187.
