'Baker Brothers: Raucous Funk Session Vol 3' features fantastic Funked up basslines, keys, horns, and guitars in a truly spectacular collection that weighs in at 1.54 GB. Following the success of the first two Volumes, Monster Sounds have put the Bakers back in to the environment they know the best, a darkened analogue studio, poured large amounts of strong coffee down their necks and set them loose again.
With a line up change in the rhythm department the guys are back with a more raucous sound. Now sitting at the drums is Californian beat man Theodore Carrasco, who has added a different West Coast Funk flavour to proceedings, even bringing his special gold sparkle vintage kit for the occasion.
This pack also sees the inclusion of a classic Gem organ and Chris's monstrous Gibson Grabber bass adding another vibe not seen on the previous packs. Recorded on a recently serviced SSL desk and a heap of lovely vintage gear, the sound is bang on as authentic as you can get.
The Baker Brothers have been rocking dancefloors far and wide with their huge entertaining live show for over 10 years now and have toured Japan and Europe extensively, delivering an explosive, killer Funk show.
With numerous releases under their collective belt, the band are currently in the studio working on their eighth album for the well respected Record Kicks label, having also just had an exclusive track released on the labels celebratory anniversary compilation.
Proof of the quality of these players if needed, has to be the inclusion of their work into the Tarrantino Django soundtrack on the "Payback Untouchable" tune.
During their career, The Bakers have sold out Soho's legendary Ronnie Scotts club and have supported legends such as Sly and The Family Stone, Jools Holland and John Schofield. Their infectious, raw Beats and basslines underpin edgy melodic horns and funky guitars.
Over their consistently prolific career so far they have gained critical acclaim by the likes of Mr Scruff, DJ Muro, Keb Darge, Florian Keller, and The Roots. They have worked with guests such as Average White Band's Hamish Stewart, Vanessa Freeman of Reel People and UK percussion legend, Snowboy.
