Jim Sharp / Double A
BACK IN THE DANG / WANNA BE DOWN
(7 INCH)
One Oh Eight / ONE002
7 Inch
Funky Edits
UK via Canada label One Oh Eight, helmed up by the precision plate cutter known as Jim Sharp, lines up its second 7" with yet another two-pronged slice of fine-tipped summer funk. On the A, fine jib cutter Jim Sharp dusts off the lapels with 'Back In The Dang', refining dusty Pittsburgh soul, lazy-day grooves and throwback R&B vocal work. Twizzle it round for DJ Double A's 'Wanna Be Down', a bold, uptempo spin on a 90s slow jam, given a new-school, spectral boogie treatment. This is only the second release from the label, but both contributors have form, Sharp with his long-standing 45s output and Double A as a mainstay on the North American DJ circuit.[info sheet from distr.]
