A1. Solution – Feels So Right (Rani G & Raul Riena World-Life-music Raw Teaser remix)
A2. Hot Issue – Motion 96
B1. Mercedes – Living For The Moment (Booker T Dub Mix)
B2. Strive For Jive – Never Gonna Give Up (Jazzy Groove Dub)

When the long running music brand and DJ collective Soul Damn Funky released their recent - and third to date - compilation album of New York clubland classics earlier this year, it was a digital only affair. But the numerous requests for a vinyl pressing have prompted Brighton's Russell Ruckman and London legend Marcia Carr to select four tunes from the album for a sampler EP. The luxuriously jazzy version of Solution's 'Feels So Right' remixed by Rani G And Raul Riena, leads the charge, with Hot Motion's cool and percussive 'Motion 96' adding some relaxed, sumptuously produced class. Booker T offers up a dub of 'Living For The Moment' by Mercedes, using the piano breakdown as a cue to strip things right down and then build them up again block by block in inimitable style. Finally, the Jazzy Groove dub of Strive For Jive's 'Never Gonna Give Up' brings things to a close with a looped up, dreamy vocal refrain, sturdy house beats and even a subtle bleep influence. Soul Damn Funky? So damn funky, for sure.
