Mad Dog / Cheap Cologne

Fresh from releasing their first live album 'Soundcheck at 6' (their fourth overall), The Du - Rites quickly jump back in with a new 7 - inch vinyl. This release is a bit different from the previous one. The A - Side, 'Mad Dog', starts with a wild, polyrhythmic drum solo. Then, J - Zone brings an upbeat, somewhat unorthodox yet dance - friendly groove. When the bass joins, the sound gets deeper. Distorted combo organs, analog synths, tambourines, and Pablo's Blaxploitation guitars add a spooky psychedelic touch to their signature funk. The B - side, inspired by cheap fragrance and Kool & The Gang's 'Funky Man', has Pablo's rolling funk bassline and Bruce Martin's congas. J - Zone's open hi - hat adds to the serious rhythm. The Du - Rites aim to expand modern funk while keeping its essence, and this release does just that.

If you're into funk music, this 7 - inch vinyl from The Du - Rites is a great addition to your collection. To enjoy it, simply put the vinyl on your turntable. Make sure your turntable is in good working condition for the best sound. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. After each use, gently clean the vinyl with a soft, anti - static brush to keep it in top shape. Sit back, relax, and let the funky sounds of The Du - Rites take you on a musical journey.
