Description
On Dr Hypenstein, Redtenbachers Funkestra brings their danceable brand of funk to 2015, laying down 13 of their funkiest grooves yet, from the fluty cant-stop-your-feet sounds of the title track to the heavy crunch of Swagger, then letting the atomic dogs out with Cave Canem and the percolating Funktionality”.
Listen to the album review by George Graham | WVIA-FM | PA (USA)
London-based bassist, composer, arranger and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher is the mastermind behind Dr Hypenstein, which includes the bass-driven Bass Face and Bassbulator, the dare-you-not-to-move Right On It and Supergalactic”, and expands on previous material to incorporate electronic sounds in all the while standing proud with the history of funk.
This is the eighth album from Redtenbachers Funkestra, which regularly performs at (and packs) Londons legendary 606 Club and other established London venues. Guest musicians have included Fred Wesley, Alfred Pee Wee Ellis, Doc Kupka, Lee Thornburg and Lenny Pickett from Tower of Power, Eric Krasno of Soulive, Stanton Moore of Galactic and the horn sections from Prince, Incognito and The Brand New Heavies.
The Austrian-born Redtenbacher fell for Herbie Hancock and Maceo Parker early on, then studied at the Vienna Conservatory and Bostons Berklee College of Music, and has recorded and performed with legends including Steve Winwood, Jack Bruce, Amy Winehouse, Lulu, Mica Paris, and Herb Alpert.
