matt solo this week

part 1 > Funky alabama blue-eyed soul moves to a troubled deep burner from Latimore, wiggly funk from Slave, and new abstract detroit house on 3 Chairs new LP. Killer Patrick Adams joint from Donna McGhee, earnest new space disco from Sunburst Band, and the disco punch is spiked by the acid house of Adonis, Bam Bam, Farley & friends.

part 2 > the Acid Thunder continues to get darker with Sleezy D and chaotic 303 freakout from 808 State, prototechno from Nightmoves, recent sounds of Matzo & Pauli bump against italo weirdos Magazine 60 and off-kilter rawness from DJ Yoav B. Winding it down with downtempo from Carl Craig as Piece and a phazed out Arthur Russell in after-hours mode.
