If you’ve been following or a fan of Nostalgia King, a Bboy / Bgirl in the scene then you surely know the name Funkshone or have undoubtably heard me playing any number of their genre appropriate funk 45’s on the scene and a few which have become classics and anthems. One of the major players of the outfit, Mike Bandoni who I like to refer to as the “breakbeat drum master” has been banging out daily clips of essential drum listening sets and in between has found time to deliver his debut 7″ on Village Live Records. “Kool Trippin” b/w “The Method” is a pair of funky golden nuggets with just the right grooves to play for a funk / jazz night an introduce something new to the scene. Being a multi-instrumentalist, what you hear is pure Mike Bandoni and how he thinks when putting together and creating music. No fluff, just vibes and flavor.
