Repress!

On 'Boogie Down' Bubbha Thomas and The Lightmen lean away from the jazzier moods that they were best known for, towards a mid-tempo boogie/funk workout featuring wide open drum breaks, analog synths, fat claps and vibey backing vocals.

The original 45, released in 1980, now goes for silly money if you can find one, so we thought it would be nice to make it available again. Dedicated to the extensive musical and educational work of Bubbha, who passed away at the end of 2020.

Remastered from original master tapes, officially licensed from Now Again.

Slept-on modern soul/funk featuring the break from "Ham 'N' Eggs" by A Tribe Called Quest. Cut loud & proud. Licensed from Demon Music Group by
