Merkevah Records set to release L.A Funk Corporation single – “Vertigo”

L.A Funk Corporation comes around to carry the mantle of funk’s forefathers

Merkevah Records a recently formed LA based Record Label has released the new single by the L.A Funk Corporation, entitled “Vertigo”. The song was written by band members Walter Goodman (keyboards) and Shiah Luna (guitar) with vocals by Jonathan Mouton. The track will have its official release on the 7th of July while a video is also in the works and set for a July 1 publication.

It’s near impossible to listen to this track without getting into the groove. This just rocks the house. It’s got all the classic P-Funk sounds from the 70’s – horns, harmonies and a thumping bassline, while it also maintains a fresh and modern electronic dance edge similar to a crossover blend between that of Jamiroquai and Daft Punk.

lafunk-corporation-merkevahThis is a must have for funk fans. As a huge fan of funk in all styles I have to say this track is a masterpiece of guitar and funk fusion. Shiah Luna is a true genius on the guitar giving you an idea of what true funk guitar work is, while Walter Goodman delivers some sweet keyboards too, to make this a modern-day funk classic. The whole package is brought full-circle with Jonathan Mouton’s high register melodic vocals.

The L.A Funk Corporation truly puts the “oooo” in groove on “Vertigo” as the horns launch the rump-shaking rhythm to another stratosphere of funkiness. Hardly will you hear modern-day mainstream funk with this kind of arrangement. L.A Funk Corporation seems to be a collective of incredibly talented musicians with a deep appreciation for funk music. And they spread the funk thick and dirty on “Vertigo”!

When funk is left in the wrong hands, tragedy can happen. However, when a band like L.A Funk Corporation comes around to carry the mantle of funk’s forefathers, you realize that there is still hope for this genre in the world.

The sound production also signals another great achievement. Most modern music releases are usually compressed to hell, so everything from a whisper to a shout is at the same volume. However the mixing and mastering on “Vertigo” has left in a lot of dynamics, so the music has real punch.

Get ready to shake your booty on the dance floor as this is music meant to be enjoyed for the funky grooves it communicates!
