SynthFunkatero is a reinterpretation of the funkiest vibes of
the eighties through Vim Cortez's musical lens. While synth pop has enjoyed a
new wave of popularity for a few years now, on and off the dancefloors, not
many contemporary acts are keeping the flame of synthetic funk alive. Vim Cortez
pays tribute to the sounds that marked his childhood, from Michael Jackson to
Shalamar, from Prince to Cameo. Big synth bass sounds rub shoulders with old
school drum machine hits, fresh synth stabs and hot guitar licks. But this is
no nostalgic or tongue-in-cheek wink at the kitsch-loving crowd: there is
an urgent edge to the beats and the vocals to remind us that synthfunk is the
angry, fidgety little brother of future soul.
