Hoo-ee..this gritty gem came through to me recently on the email (meatskull@gmail.com). It’s a prize coupling of Cosmo Baker and 4th Pyramid and…well, i’ll let this tell you more:
“DJ extraordinaire Cosmo Baker (The Rub, NYC) and MC/Producer phenom 4th Pyramid (Toronto) jokingly came up with the concept of THE SHEEN BROTHERS one balmy Manhattan evening: A duo of slicked-out sleazestars tuned into the greasy funk and drippy disco sounds that make girls lose control and guys feel like macks hit the stage in style to turn the party out. Unbeknownst to them, the two hit on a virtual party rocking monster machine that’s no joke. With Cosmo on the ones and twos and Pyramid on the MPD, these two have smoothed out their own brand of sexy dance floor flavor, what they like to call Scumbag Funk, and the people want more. What can they say…it’s a Sheen thing.
Now, you can get your greasy fingers on a piece of SHEEN with this, their much anticipated mix, Scumbag Funk Vol. 1. Out the gates first with an electrifying mix of the dankest drippy-disco around is SHEEN Brother, 4th Pyramid. Get ready for the funk at its finest, being a sleaze ball never felt this good.”

Headtripper extrordinaire, Mr. Andy Votel has made an exclusive mix for Dublab! Thanks to Neut for passing this on.
“Andy Votel of the flawless Finders Keepers kingdom is a purveyor of all things far out. His record collection is something akin to the Ark of the Covenant. Listen to it and your mind will surely melt. Call us masochists but we enjoy this mind melting sensation immensely. It sheds us of the unnecessary hyperactive awareness that buzzes through our brainwaves. Andy came back into dublab to help relieve us of the known world and make our souls one with the universal psychedelic spirit.” – Dublab

A real gone funky weirdo wig out from the good doctor, Dr. Schluss.
“While most of this probably falls under the psychedelic umbrella, there are a few deviations. You’ll find some of these albums in the psychedelic garage, but we’ve also got stuff like a little 70’s jazz-funk lurking about, along with a touch of rawk. There’s also a fewer newer releases represented here which are too recent for me to feel ok posting the entire album. I made this little compilation to illustrate to Scott, the other fellow involved with Damaged Tape and Glaze of Cathexis, where my musical headspace is currently residing. This is the kind of stuff that I end up playing everyday. It’s certainly influenced the new Glaze of Cathexis album (which will be posted in the next few days) and a few even more recent recordings. Hopefully you’ll dig at least some of the music that’s been catching my ear.” – Dr. Schluss
