The House side of All Good Funk Alliance


If you were to buy an All Good Funk Alliance record back in 2002 you would have thought we only produced house music. But, we actually wrote down-tempo and breaks as well. We would send out full demos and labels would come back and tell us they were only interested in our house music production. This eventually lead to us starting our own labels and pushing a blend of house and breaks that came to called nu-funk or mid-tempo.

One of our last "House" releases as All Good Funk Alliance came from Aroma in the form of "Party over here" and you can hear the funky elements and the traces of our future sound from this particular song. We also put it out on our first Funk Weapons EP, since we thought it defined where we were going at the time.

Well anyway, Aroma put out a ten year anniversary release a while back and Swirl People did a remix of our classic jam.. It's interesting to hear those old sounds used in a different context and I think they did a nice job. Check it out and seek out the original "Party over here" if you get a chance.
