PUSH Vinyl & CDs

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged but otherwise in excellent condition***


Original pioneers of rare groove PUSH made a welcome return with this exciting album back in 2004 when it first dropped. It remains a vibrant workout 20 years later and blends classic underground rare grooves with contemporary feel-good funk and soul, featuring heartfelt songs and incredible instrumental pieces along the way. Emerging from the London club scene in 1987, PUSH thrived on JB-inspired funk, blaxploitation soundtracks, and raw soul-jazz. They toured Europe and Japan, performing at Gilles Peterson's legendary Dingwalls sessions. Key members Crispin Taylor, Ernie McKone, and Mark Vandergucht also played with Galliano and supported US divas like Candi Staton and Marlena Shaw.

Review: Push returns with a vibrant 7" release featuring their acclaimed classic 'Cut Me Loose' on Side-1. Originally unleashed in 1994, this funk gem, inspired by the JBs, remains a defining piece of rare groove art. The song has been in demand since so this reissue should satisfy those rare groove buyers in getting one. On Side-2, the funk outfit unveils 'Superstar Skd,' their first new recording in a decade. This upbeat anthem, reminiscent of Roy Ayers and Pleasure, promises to impress audiences and earn its place in DJ selections globally. With boogie music making a triumphant return, Push reaffirms their mastery of infectious grooves, ensuring their lasting impact on the funk scene.
