Their sixth release features SECT, a Culprit supergroup of sorts consisting of Sergio Santos, Eli Goldstien and Charles Levine of Soul Clap, and Tanner Ross of Voodeux. This self-described boy band delivers the smoldering funk by scrapping together a motorik beat out of gasps and filtered snaps that house a grizzly bass/synth duo. A surprisingly coherent blend of “Fly Like An Eagle” synth oscillations and a few reverberating dub chords round out the mix; together it evokes the irreverent but danceable styles of Pepe Bradock and Claude VonStroke at once. The bass line is the real star here, mutating from a marching snarl to a oil slick that is sure to drive dancers mad.
