BREAKIN BREAD continue to push their brand
of “DIRTY, BEATBREAKIN’ FUNK AND HIP HOP” with a 7” from Color Climax
Color Climax are one of the UK’s top funk bands. They first emerged
on Breakin Bread Records in 2000 and they have released 3 7” 45rpm
singles to critical acclaim. Their sound is a mixture of production
and straight up live funk. They play live as a 4 piece and sometimes
they add sampled elements.
Their last single (Batidas Latinas b/w Crabwalk) came out in 2002
and is the labels biggest selling 7” to date. Since that release
the band took a break to work on their live sound, but they are
now back with another killer 7”.
Side A “Jigsaw”
This is an uptempo, double bass and flute driven monster of a tune
pinned down by furious b-boy style drums. Incorporating samples
with live flute and guitar, this is another side to Color Climax
and a departure from the heavy funk sound they have been touring
with as a live band. This tune is destined to gain a loyal following
on the more discerning dancefloors nationwide and will definitely
rock b-boy jams worldwide.
Side B “Crossfire”
The flipside Crossfire is a psych-funk hammond beast of a tune inspired
by the uk library music scene from the late 60’s. Think KPM, De
Wolfe Alan Hawkshaw. It features Color Climax’s trademark Hammond
organ sound and explosive fuzz guitar. Cautious of not making another
‘funk 45’ this tune comes across as psychedelic-flamenco-funk meets
The Mohawks...in Coventry!
