Uh!!! That’s the guttural ‘Uh!” when a song is so good, so funky, that your brain goes right back into cro-magnon mode and it’s the only sound that you can make to express complete satisfaction. I usually say it three times per track when listening to the jazz/afro-beat outfit, Ikebe Shakedown. The NY-based crew recently released their second full length album, Stone by Stone, and it’s near impossible to find a track that isn’t bursting with soul and slick beats. Seven members strong, Ikebe Shakedown is instrumental music at its funk perfection. Just check out “The Beast,” and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Enjoy. It’s almost impossible not to.
