Ghost Funk Orchestra, En Orbito, Blue Tongue

Going to high school in the early Aughts, my brother and I dove headlong into all five elements of the cultural juggernaut that is hip-hop. Hermanito got tied up in breaking. Me, the music. The two intersected at classic jams, cyphers where old-school breakbeats ruled the floor. My first encounter with multi-instrumentalist wünderkind Seth Applabaum’s Ghost Funk Orchestra – reminiscent of the Jimmy Castor Bunch and David Holmes – threw me back to running the CD player while my brother and his crew took on any fool who tried to test them. – Cy White
