New Artist alert: Ken Ji
'Aight, call me old, but I like the more primitive style of breakbeat, more of a beat collage than a slick electrowhatever production. That's why, say, Ken Ji's track "Hit The Peak" does it for me (oh, and don't miss "Fizzy Drink"). I think of this style of breakbeat as more rock-n-roll than the newer stuff. It's a bit repetitive, but who cares? AC-DC wrote their one song over and over again and I still like it. Same thing goes here, and it's rather surprising how few folks still produce this kind of stuff. I called this blog "Electrofunk review" because I like funky beats first and foremost. Whether in electronic music, or funk, or hip-hop, or wherever. So long live the funk, and listen to Ken Ji because he gets it right. And you'll like it -- that's an Electrofunk guarantee.
