Review

Most people will be sold 'Kung Fu' (Mahogani) based on a 2 minute bit at the end of side b. Pitch Black City was a loose collaborative entity with several Detroit musicians, including percussionist Andrés, vocalist Roberta Sweed and keyboardist Amp Fiddler. A one-sided 12" credited to Pitch Black City appeared on Mahogani in 2003; and PBC was featured on a track on Moodymann's 'Silence in the Secret Garden' LP, released the same year on Peacefrog. This is one of those KDJ tracks that has a spacey intro with a breathy spoken word piece, followed by a short, typically Kenny, house track. Now, we'll direct your attention as well to the two Dirtbombs tracks that comprise the bulk of this EP. The Dirtbombs are one of Detroit legend Mick Collins' many post-Gories projects. Other than consistently loud volumes and lots of noise, the Dirtbombs actually had a surprisingly diverse sound, comprising a broad spectrum of styles from garage rock, punk and glam to classic soul and R&B. The a-side track is a dubbed out garage-ska rocker, really loud and in-your-face. The b-side is a gritty funk-rock number that will play on some more adventurous floors, but most of this record will play better to rock audiences than to typical house ones.
