The irrepressible Pilooski live in the mix va Eamon Harkin’s web spot.
“It’s been a very busy summer but now with Sunday Best and The Beach Party in full flight there’s a little breathing room in an otherwise hectic schedule to launch websites, release records and get through the general back log.
More to come on all of that in time but for now I’m happy to finally post a gem of a mix from Pilooski recorded live at the Mister Saturday Night loft/warehouse party from last month. No track list on this one but I can say its a treasure trove of edits from all the top players in the game. Just what you’d expect from the Parisian master. Here you go…”

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.”

Great mix of funky edits and such from Cosmic Boogie’s Stu Robinson. Pilfered from those in the know over at Cool In The Pool.
What kind of music is the collective into?
“Groove based music I suppose. I dont really know much about when one genre ends and another one begins. I suppose if i had to think about it off the cuff I would say Disco, Funk, Boogie, Soul, Jazz Funk, Rare Groove…and so on…however, there are so many tracks that fit into all those genres, I can never really tell what’s what. Not being a part of the original rare groove scene, for example, I dont know if a track is rare groove or disco, or probably even jazz funk. What I would say is that I pretty much like anything that is good, but I probably lean more to a black American funk sound than a European or Italo based sound. I was a drum and bass DJ for about 10 years as well
so I love breakbeats, bass and percussion – in fact, I’d say that percussion and bass are the most important things in a track for me. Have a listen to any of the mixes on the site and you would get a good idea of the overall sound I am into, although it moves around a lot. There are some genres i dont fully understand – trance, haircut electro and i’m probably also not the biggest house music fan on the earth either. However, I try not to close myself off to anything. I asked Theo Parrish last year if there was any genre of music he doesn’t get something from and he said every scene, every genre, every vibe has something you can pick up and learn from – so who am I to argue”. – CITP Interview excerpt
