Wayout Records head honcho, Manchester DJ and producer James Kumo aka K.Mo, takes the reins for their next release ‘Space Funk EP’, featuring man of the moment Byron The Aquarius.

The deep house groove of title track ‘Space Funk’ has Byron on keys, laying down his trademark synth and bassline stabs courtesy of his Prophet 6. The warm and soulful vibes sit alongside driving drum patterns and additional live percussion by Mauskovic Dance Band member Chris Bruining.

The B side opens with ‘Moon Light Shuffle’, delivering a captivating bass line with synth lead melodies accenting the organic solo to die for from the super talented Tim Jules.

Close ‘Inner Soul’ is full of sparkle with heady pads, luscious piano chords again from Tim Jules, elevating this very credible record to a whole other level.

Moon Light Shuffle is an absolute blast of a track. But great work having Byron on space funk. Deep and wild.

STEFANO TUCCI/ HELL YEAH.
I love this release! All the tracks are great. Space Funk it's exactly what it says on the title: afro funk launched into space. Moonlight Shuffle it's cosmic and jazzy, super groovy! Inner Soul it's euphoric deep house for the heads with that unexpected "strings of life" moment. Music for the body and the soul!

DARKER THAN WAX/ THE LOT
I really like this record - love supporting the homie Byron! The song Inner Soul is also great too.

EDDIE C
Moonlight Shuffle is very cool.. reminds of late 90Svek/Paper/Classic/FrenchFriedFunk. I worked with Tim Jules on something with Marcel once.. back in the day now!

Space Funk is great

BILLY SCURRY
NOTHING I don’t like about this.. It’s dark it's warm, it's lush it’s stripped, it’s house it’s techno… it’s fucking fire!!

TRISTAN JONG/ GRATTS
This is cool! My fav is "Moon Light Shuffle".

STUART PATTERSON/ FAITH FANZINE
As much as I love Byron it's Tim Jules key's that have got me on this one, especially the organ on Mooonlight Shuffle

RALPH SESSION/ HALF ASSED RECORDS
The B2 is a nice slice of soul N grooves.

MARC ROBERTS/ FMLY ASIA
Inner Soul and Moonlight Shuffle right up my strasse! Warm and ooozing class x

WHITEY DELUCA/ KOLOURS LTD
Amazing - what a treat! Anything BTA blesses his hands on is nothing short of massive and this is no different. The whole record is reminiscent of those days of digging in the record store, finding this gem, and setting it in the purchase pile while you're at the listening station - only to be followed by giving it a proper rinsing at every subsequent gig!

FREDDIE GARCIA/ SANCHO PANZA
I do like the Space fun k on it, top prod and nice deep House

IAN BLEVINS / ME ME ME
Moon Light Shuffle is a jam!
