Skeewiff - Private Funktion (2006)

Private Funktion is the third studio album from the daddy’s of the lounge-hop scene - Skeewiff. Since the release of their first album the label they founded has gone from strength to strength featuring releases from scene shakers Kraak & Smaak, Fort Knox Five, & IKON and now the original kings of the cocktail beat are back to show the pretenders to the throne how to do it martini style.

The album features a few collaborations, with Triumph Stag featuring the keyboard talents of Alan “The Hawk” Hawkshaw. The Skeewiff guys hooked up with the hammond legend a few years back and produced an album for him on his label. Alan – the man behind some of the most memorable keyboard lines in music history (think Mohawks – Champ) was only too happy to return the favour for the guys.

They also teamed up with Jalapeno label boss Trevor Mac to produce a remake of Constant Sorrow. Elliot, Alex & Trevor DJ together as the Skeewiff Soundsystem and the track originally came about as a live mix dropping the accapella from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack over some Skeewiff beats. -- jalapeno.greedbag.com
