The members have performed and recorded with many top artists including: The Cinematic Orchestra, Lou Donaldson, Nightmares on Wax, Roots Manuva, Mark Ronson, Stuart Zender (Jamiroqui’s bassist), Corinne Bailey Rae, Snowboy, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Odyssey, Martina Topley-Bird, Lily Allen, Candie Payne and Amy Winehouse. Noteably, with the horn section featured on the legendary deep funk album “Keb Darge presents the New Mastersounds” (I’ll also give it a review someday).

As for their latest record Hot Damn! it represents awesome not mainstream instrumental funk with great melodies and occasional gospel styled singing in two or three tracks.

They gained some attention after their song Uaaa…a! appeared in 2008 Russian movie hit Rozidgysh (Prank) and now Cheese People are smashing clubs all over the country. Their debut work Psycho Squirrel is varying from electronic pieces similar to The Prodigy to post-punk songs like Catch U. It’s a structural madness that needs a few spins before you get into it. A self-titled rerelease was also released in 2008, so basically if you are looking for some fresh and good Russian bands don’t miss this crazy team.

Ta-daaa. Please welcome the ultimate funky mix of the awesome star wars music composed by John Williams and mixed by Meco. It shakes? It makes you dance? Hell yeah! I’d say it’s the death star of all the possible dance floor hits. 33 minutes starting from the 20^th century fox fanfare to the most melodic and epic tunes of the saga. The alien cantina band is also not forgotten.

So keep it up! This tape is 30 years old and it sound way better than most of the modern DJs. Maybe the key ingredients are the original melodies or maybe it’s the funky feeling of the 70^th so close to the space. I can’t really tell what makes this record great!
