South Street delves into the Sound of Detroit from one of its unsung heroes, reissuing Amp Fiddler's 'Motor City Booty' LP on yellow and blue vinyl respectively. Straight off the D Funk assembly line, it's a full-on dancefloor affair spanning Motown, P-Funk, techno, and neo-soul.
This 12-track album, produced by Amp Fiddler and Yam Who?, includes the massive 'Soul Fly', which sounds like a Mark Ronson production had he been hanging out with George Clinton's Parlet, followed by the bona fide P-Funk anthem 'Steppin'', both featuring stunning vocals by the Dames Brown girls.
Amp Fiddler is credited with taking both a young J Dilla and Q-Tip under his wing, teaching them his Akai MPC techniques and paving the way for some of hip-hop's finest recordings, which have defined the shape of things to come.
His musical collaborations and current duties include: Moodymann's musical maestro, keyboard wizard for Theo Parrish's live band, long-standing Funkadelic member, and co-writer for Sly & Robbie, Prince, Maxwell, Jamiroquai, and Seal, to name a few.
