CRATERY 28: 45’s (part 2)

Before DJ’s began coveting 12”s and the mp3 single defined today’s music market, the average consumer would purchase their hits on 45: The original single. Most soul and funk collectors are no strangers to these tiny records which have held the secrets to some of hip-hop’s most famous breakbeats. “Impeach the President” (The Honeydrippers), “Shack up” (Banbarra) and “Synthetic Substitution” (The Melvin Bliss classic featured on this month’s show) were all originally only available on 45 before being reissued countless times on full-length vinyl. The funk 45 phenomenon of the early 2000’s further solidified how much great music was continuing to go undiscovered on this format. This month, Serious, Kaewonder and I dip into our respective 45 stashes to share with you a few of our fav’s. From the sparse funk of The Meters, the pimped out orchestration of Starvue’s “Body Fusion, to the undeniably eclectic banger “Cumbia de Sal” from Colombia, we give you our second full Cratery dedicated to those tiny little records they call 45’s: Cratery 28. Enjoy.
