The latest 7\" is a slight departure from the previous 7\" (\"Zodiac\" b\/w \"Monster\"). Where the personality of incidental vocals dominated that release, J-Zone \u0026amp; Pablo Martin split the difference this time and give us one half that and one half pure dynamite instrumental. The dynamite instrumental would be the A-Side, \"Mad Dog\". It starts with an off-the-wall, polyrhythmic drum solo, before gradually easing into an uptempo and somewhat unorthodox (yet still dance floor friendly) groove from J-Zone. The pocket goes deeper once the bass joins in, and the four car collision of distorted combo organs, analog synths, rolling tambourines and Pablo's turkey grease Blaxploitation guitars put a spooky Psychedelic spin on The Du-Rites' trademark brand of funk. Candid vocals and humor are also a part of The Du-Rites approach, and though the A-Side is strictly for the groovers and shakers, the flip has a little for everyone. Pablo's rolling funk bassline and honorary band member Bruce Martin's (no relation) congas anchor a mean and nasty mid-tempo cooker that's much heavier in feel than the A-Side. J-Zone's open hi-hat barks throughout play off the rest of the rhythm section for a lock so serious that the guitar and keys only need to leave a tip and the silly banter - a nod to both cheap fragrance and Kool \u0026amp; The Gang's 1970 classic, \"Funky Man\" - doesn't get in the way. The Du-Rites' goal is always to expand the boundaries of modern funk without losing the essence of what funk is about. This release stays true to code.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Mad Dog \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Cheap Cologne\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Du-Rites (J-Zone \u0026 Pablo Martin)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32170517430343,"sku":"39858344","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3759756-2522070.jpg?v=1711124754","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/du-rites-j-zone-pablo-martin-mad-dog-cheap-cologne","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
