NEW RELEASE: SKULL SNAPS meet THE AUDIBLE DOCTOR 12-inch Single "SNAPPED"

The Audible Doctor and ten12systems team up with the SKULL SNAPS to create their first authorized edit, taking moments from “It’s a New Day," “Trespassing," and “I’m Your Pimp” as well as a few tape bits found in Uncle Culley’s closet. The original take of the Northern Soul scorcher “I'm Your Pimp” is spread wide and deep on the B-Side.

This is the FIRST authorized SKULL SNAPS master edit and re-issue since the release of their groundbreaking album in 1973.

"Classic New York 70s funk is lovingly edited and re issued on this amazing official 12inch...Great snapping drums, great strings and dope vocals. Loud 12inch pressing." -FAT CITY (UK)

"Hit the b-side on this one -- because the track's one of the best from The Skull Snaps' legendary album! "I'm Your Pimp" is presented here in the fast-rolling original mix -- a mad mix of snapping drums, sliding strings, and super dope lyrics that have made the tune a memorable funk track for years! The "Snapped" track is presented here in a remix version -- one that cuts up the track heavily and brings up the funky bottom -- almost hitting an older level of Norman Cook mixing from the late 80s!" -DUSTY GROOVE.

Coming December 13: MONKONE's Phonolog 12-inch EP

Following MONKONE's Together Brother debut 7-inch single (Let It Go-T1245006), ten12 records presents MONKONE's 12-inch EP, PHONOLOG.

Wax Poetics scribe, genius DJ, WBAI FM's Underground Railroad resident, astute record collector, and progressive producer MONKONE (Monk-One) serves up a tasty array of throwback funk, jazz and latin-inspired compositions with a few battle breaks in between. Finished enough to move the crowd and raw enough for production monkeys.
