SOLO 500 - On The Way (edits) [7" Vinyl]

Format: 7" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: SOLO503
Release Date: 12 Sep 2025
Genre: Funk

Solo 500 delivers another irresistible 7" that takes the form of this two-sided celebration of boogie and jazz-funk classics. Side A revisits The Whatnauts' 1981 gem 'Help Is On The Way,' which was famously sampled by De La Soul, MC Lyte and Heavy D. This synth-laden and soulful edit captures the essence of early 80s boogie with killer grooves. Side B flips the script with 'Stepping', a refined edit of Donald Byrd's 1975 jazz-funk masterpiece 'Stepping Into Tomorrow', produced by the legendary Mizell brothers for Blue Note. With great respect for the OGs but added new school charm, this 45 bridges past and present in style.
