R-CADE & SMOOVGROOVS – SPACE CAKES EP

I’m so proud of my homies. When creative people put their thoughts into actions the world rejoices and enjoys! My San Jose chaps R-Cade and SmoovGroovs just finished crafting their debut masterpiece Space Cakes and it is quite the party rocker! Funk is alive and well and these boys are showing us that for sure. Using the technology of today with the analog stylings of the keys, the blending of boogie and beats was natural. With help from 4 One Funk‘s Teeko and Max Kane this is going to be quite the adventure. Stay tuned for more!
