includes >what the funk<

emapea, the renowned beat-maker from poland, burst upon the scene with multiple compilation appearances on cold busted, an inclusion on mark farina’s mushroom jazz 8, and his stunning debut album seeds, roots & fruits. fans and headz worldwide have been clamoring for a follow-up, but all emapea wanted to do was just zone out. and that’s what happened, with the release of emapea’s twenty song album zoning out, volume 1.

crucial heavyweights poldoore and emapea each take on a side of this cold busted 7“ single, the latest in a bi-monthly series of dub / reggae cuts exhumed from the label’s golden vault. belgium’s poldoore commandeers the a-side with an instrumental version of ”this road“, a track originally found on his acclaimed 2016 album the day after. stirringly dubwise, the cut is wet with atmosphere and the ping of spring reverb, as a tuneful horn section carries the main melody. flip the wax for accomplished polish beat-maker emapea and his delightfully skankin’ ”rudeboy“. previously appearing on the in dub 3 compilation, ”rudeboy” showcases emapea’s knack for combining samples from multiple genres into one cohesive, steamy gumbo. with either track, b-boys and natty dreads alike will give the dance floor a serious workout as the needle meets the vinyl.

the latest in cold busted’s 7” series – featuring previously digital-only cuts now enshrined on wax – comes from accomplished polish beat-maker emapea. known for his contributions to the iwymi and bust free compilations as well as his widely lauded album seeds, roots & fruits, emapea has been recently selected for inclusion in mark farina’s next mushroom jazz installment. so the time is ripe to get funky and fresh with this prime beat-maker’s new 7” single. this one goes out to the b-boys, as “b-boy stance” grooves with its ‘70s-style car chase guitar, feet-shuffling rhythms, horn splashes, and energetic vocal drops. every b-boy needs a solid b-side, and here you’ll find “b-boy theme”. this one transports the floor to a raucous block party complete with breakneck scratches and energetic drum loops, alongside ‘70s funk flourishes that’ll get any private dick – who’s a sex machine to all the chicks – quickly moving his hips.

first release in a series of reggae/dub 7 inches. up first are 2 tracks by polish beatmaker emapea that were originally found on the in dub 4 release.

features what the funk from seeds, roots & fruits (not found on the 12 inch). unreleased bonus track strictly wax is vinyl only and will not be released digitally.

accomplished polish beat-maker emapea has made memorable appearances on many cold busted label compilations – such as in the iwymi and bust free series – and has been selected for inclusion in mark farina’s next mushroom jazz installment. all this activity has mouths watering for the debut full length album from emapea, and the appearance of “seeds, roots & fruits” doesn’t disappoint one bit. featuring sixteen exceptional tracks ranging from hip hop to acid jazz to psychedelic trip hop in the style of mo’wax, emapea’s long player is indeed, as a wise man once said, “a journey into sound.” “seeds, roots & fruits” rises above the average beats album to reveal the enduring depth of this young producer … emapea is one to watch.
