Uku Kuut: Grand Hotel LP

Can you feel the funk? PPU taps Estonian funk maestro Uku Kuut for 10 more selections from the archives on Grand Hotel. The Lab office have been fans of Uku’s rare strain of breezy, instrumental synth funk since his first 7″ and LP on PPU and we’re super stoked to hear more. This one features his tracks from his days in the Soviet Union, Sweden, Los Angeles, and Estonia circa 1982 to the mid 90’s. Includes his very first home recording “Mystery,” 90’s funk jams like “Secret Lovers,” “I Feel Love,” and “Tallinn Dream,” as well as “Secret Dream” recorded at Herbie Hancock’s home studio! Pic sleeve, recommended.
