Capturing an obscure sub-genre of music and reviving it in 2014, Alex Puddu draws inspiration from the 1970's adult films of Denmark for the 10-track ride of "The Golden Age Of Danish Pornography Vol. 2". As a composer, Alex controls the emotional and cinematic aspects of the listening experience with a rich fusion of funky music.
While the overall direction of The Golden Age draws inspiration from adult film, this project entertains and provides a strong edge in the form of Funk no matter what perspective you are hearing it from, thanks to the execution and imagination of Alex Puddu.
"A fierce funky combo from Georgia – as you might guess from their name – one of the hardest-hitting soul acts we've heard from the contemporary Atlanta scene, and a group with a razor-sharp approach to their music all the way through! These guys hit right on the money right from the start – monstrous drums mixed with bass, guitar, and lots of Hammond and Fender Rhodes – topped with tight horns, in a groove that's mostly instrumental, but features the occasional chorus vocal from time to time. The vibe runs from late 60s small combo funk to a bit of early 70s as well – and the record's a raw treat that serves as a perfect introduction to the group. Titles include "Dutch Oven", "Snaggletooth", "Gatur Bait", "Hutchins", "Hip Shot", "Sauce", and "Soul Syrum"." Review by Dusty Groove Record Store

From the album, "Modern Renaissance" by Jeff Bernat
"Ten years ago the U.N., a rap group consisting of Dino Brave, Mike Raw, Laku, and most notably, Roc Marciano (before his solo career as the preeminent whispering, scowling rap hero), released a little record titled UN Or U Out. With production from heroes Pete Rock, Large Professor, and Roc himself (who took their sample-slicing heroics to an even more obsessive level), the release was never truly afforded the cult classic status it deserved. Blame that, in part, on its strange standing in mid-2000s hip-hop: Released by 456 Entertainment, a record label co-founded by MTV VJ and low-key canny tastemaker Carson Daly, it was a tribute to the grimy boom-bap that wasn't quite old enough to be considered classic, nor new enough to make a real impact. A decade later, the furious album is not only a hint at what Roc Marciano would go on to do on albums like Marcberg and Reloaded, but a touchstone in the Neo-NYC Rap Renaissance; one that included Roc alongside artists like Action Bronson, Ka, Maffew Ragazino, and many more rugged and raw rap resurrectors." - SPIN magazine

Pete Rock comes with the extreme nod factor and some of his wittiest lyrics to date as he joins guests on the mic in an unreleased gem from the "Soul Survivor" LP sessions. This used to get heavy run on Pete's Future Flavas radio show before SS dropped and was great to hear each and every time. Right-click and download Verbal Murder Pt. 1 here.
