Detroit’s funk supergroup is back.
In an announcement on Friday, May 1, the group revealed a teaser video for the continuation of their “Mixtakes” series, which documents live studio performances as a one-take visual recording. In conjunction with the two new video releases, Mixtakes 3 & 4 will also be released on CD and vinyl, June 23, through Fat Beats Records.
As if things weren’t exciting enough, Mixtakes 3 & 4 will feature some exceptional guests, including: iconic Detroit guitarist and former Funk Brothers member Dennis Coffey, Detroit funk legend (and father of the late Detroit rapper Proof) McKinley Jackson and Detroit dance crew and 2010 Kresge Art Fellow Hardcore Detroit.
The ten-piece funk contingent will celebrate the upcoming release of the Mixtakes 3 & 4 live record and video series with a hometown performance at the Garden Theater, June 20. The current setlist reads like a Detroit “who’s who,” including: Will Sessions, Black Milk, Phat Kat, Shigeto, Waajeed and more.
