Sputnik-1: 50,000 Lightyears / Space Race 7″

Heat alert! Not much info out there on this record, but I think the music speaks for itself. Check the brilliant spaced-out funk on “50,000 Lightyears” that just kills it with tough, dusty breaks and amazing cosmic melodies that take your mind above the clouds and beyond. “Space Race” is straight up drum breaks galore with spacey echo effects and funked out bass and guitar to satiate even the most jaded funk digger. Heavy, heavy, heavy shit from Russia! Recommended.
