Customer Reviews
Info & Quotes
"Mo Funky Elements is more like a funk workstation. A well-targeted, well-played, well programmed collection of funk elements. A substantial collection of apparently undiscovered funky grooves... classy funky beats, authentic & convincing, powerful and tight... The producer M.J. Dunne certainly knows how to cook the beats... Sample this lot and all you'll have to do is add vocals. It's rough, but it's definitely ready. Sound quality tends towards the antique, giving a pretty consistent warm character... Rated FIVE STARS out of five" - SOUND ON SOUND magazine, UK
