Introducing DingBat Records, a new US house music label launching with an effort from renowned funky combo Kinky Movement. Kinky Movement started out in 1997 as a collective of DJs hosting underground house nights in and around the Nottingham area. In 2004, Andy Mcloughlin, Lee Eden, and John Symms became the producers for the outfit releasing their music on cool labels like Tango Recordings, Mobile Trax, Drop Music, and, now, DingBat Records. This latest release, the Growth EP, features a trio of tracks laden with Kinky Movement’s quality mix of synth heavy funk, soulful vocal hooks, intergalactic disco sounds, and lively house rhythms. The title track leads things off with a bang, containing a killer vocal hook sure to stick in the head as the feet move on the dance floor. This one’s already a definite classic in the Kinky Movement oeuvre. “Feel It” follows with more of a disco vibe as snappy guitars and synth melodies interact with a vocal line that urges the listener to ‘get up and feel it.’ Finally, “I Need To Dance” brings things a tad deeper, but this chord-led tune is still dripping with the (P-)funk. A squelching bass line and tripped out, interplanetary noises never miss a beat in what might be called the Mothership of dance floor grooves. Kinky Movement strikes again, laying out the funky welcome mat for the promising DingBat Records.
