Jim SHARP - Nuyorican Funk Soul By The Pound [7" Vinyl]

Format: 7" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: SBTP004
Release Date: 06 Aug 2026
Genre: Funk

London's Jim Sharp slips into his Jaime Filoso alias and has a bit of fun with it. You can hear him grinning through the edits. These are neighbourhood flips, close to the source, not trying to hide what they are. 'Nuyorican Funk' leans on that now-very-recognisable Salsa break - yes, the one the bunny got hold of - but leaves the vocal sitting right where it was, almost stubbornly. It shouldn't quite work, but it does, mostly on nerve. 'Be La Soul' eases things out. Slower, warmer, built around that familiar d&b guitar line, stretched into something softer. It feels like a comedown version of the A side, less punchy, more knowing.
