about

This 45 was originally released on Olski von Felbert's MPM label in 2004.

Every record has its story. The one behind this 45 starts three years ago (2001) in the city of Copenhagen. Two musicians and funk connoisseurs by the names of Frederik Birket-Smith and Andreas Vingaard invite seven fellow musicians (one of them a bass player by the name of Eve) for a session at the now defunct recording studio of Frederik’s father. Their mission: Lay down the grittiest funk that has ever come out of Copenhagen. On that night three songs are being recorded. Various funk experts visiting the city got the chance to listen to the songs and leave baffled. I first heard about their existence through a friend from Stockholm. DJ Mad Mats was guesting my Soul Power party in Cologne when he told me about this hot funk demo from Copenhagen. Mats was about to get his Raw Fusion label started which eventually turned into an underground powerhouse for quality club music made in Scandinavia. After hearing the Lefties 45 on MPM he sent me a CD-R with the words Funk Project (c) 2001 and an e-mail address on it. When I put it in my player I was shocked, so was my friend the mighty Soul Rabbi. But when I tried to get in touch with the guys I found out that the e-mail address was incomplete and since Mats didn’t had any other contacts I filed the tracks under „great lost private burned funk cd“. Call it karma but a few weeks later Mats met Andreas by chance in the streets of Copenhagen and when I finally reached him he mailed me back „Good to hear from you Olski, we wanted to contact you anyway.“
