Detroits Monty Luke brings American based Full Flavor Music its 17th release, the “Bomb On Bomb” EP. Other than being Carl Craig’s right-hand man at Planet E Communications, Monty Luke has been building quite the reputation lately with solid releases on labels like Planet E, Mothership, and his own Black Catalogue imprint. The “Bomb On Bomb” EP consists of three originals that cross the boundaries from Acid, Funky, to Downtempo. In Monty’s words…”The EP is an experiment in contemporary styles of house music, a couple of tracks that were the House of NOW, or slightly ahead of right now.” “In Love With A Dancer” is a total driver, with unmistakable synth stabs, builds and cleverly processed vocal treatments that scatter though the mix. The title track “Bomb On Bomb” is a perfect combination of acid line/keys building harmony with a full vocal going on about a sexy lady. The downtempo track “13th City Stranger” is one of the first tracks Monty wrote after moving to Detroit and the title refers to the fact that one point, Detroit was the nations 13th largest city. Enjoy this EP, the future is now.

Some vinyl copies still available, the Shikago Love EP…
Full Flavor Music is honored to welcome Wyndell Long onto the label with the Shikago Love 4 track EP. A devoted music fiend since the age of 7, Wyndell Long grew up on a steady diet of black radio during the P-Funk era in Chicago. In college Long befriended Mike Dearborn, then releasing records on DJAX, who passed the early Wyndell Long productions to Pete Hutchison over at Peacefrog Records in London. Long was immediately signed to Peacefrog which began a series of techno/tech-house singles throughout the 90′s that garnered much praise in Europe and the US. Labels such as Primate, Soma, R&S, and DJAX also caught on to Wyndell Long, leading to his tracks appearing regularly in the sets of some of the biggest global DJ names.
Long’s debut with Full Flavor Music is intentionally ‘Old School’ sounding, sure to lead folks straight to the dance floor. First up is “Soul Searching,” which thumps but in a breezy way with multi stacked pianos and an intricate arrangement that adds to the flavor. ”Always Keep It Wet” is a simple ‘jack’ track … it’s pure Chicago, no studio tricks or high sampling rates. “Damn Wireless Network” is a tribute to classic NY techno. Simple grooves, retro drum machine hits, and standard beeps and claps with a solid snare freakout section within the track. “Shikago Love” is the result of experiments with timing. The bassline and hi-hats are off the normal grid, but come together when heard in unison. There are a lot of subtle elements that move the track as something different happens about every eight bars. Analog synthesizers glide against a smoothed out high end in a way that is refreshingly pleasant to the ears, making the cut stand out amongst today’s extra hot and crispy releases.
