As we put our work proceedings on pause until next week, the Recess Funk duo slide in this Friday with a new single just under one month before their upcoming EP Electric Playground. The duo, comprised of producer and guitarist Drew Birch with Ian Gilley on the keys, showed us an eclectic mix of organic funk instrumentals, touches of nu-jazz encapsulated by an aura of old school hip hop in their 2016 release The Brothel Gospel. With a new EP ahead, these guys throw down a promising omen leading up to their September 21st release.

Recess takes us down to their secret spot in "Mango Grove" illuminating the experience with bountiful guitar riffing, delightful improvised sax, and breezy 80s-era synths.

Catch their EP Electric Playground due out on September 21st via Philos Records, which will include features from beat makers Late Night Radio and Flamingosis as well as Eric "Benny" Bloom of the Lettuce Funk band.
