Cold Busted is pleased to present the Gonna Give Ya Something To Funk On EP from Vladimir Sivc and his Funky Destination project. As it says on the package - with both the artist and title featuring the four letter word - this one tips the ‘funk’ scale. Crossing his native country of Croatia from east to west, Svic first took up singing and playing rhythm guitar before discovering turntables and DJ’ing on the move. He now travels through various styles while producing fresh music based around the use of live instruments. With an inclination towards the wild and groovy, Svic turns back the dial to rest on a retro feel for his new EP. “Brothers & Sisters This Sound Run Town" starts the release with the revving of a motorbike engine and boastful reggae vocals over rock guitars … almost too much cool for one song, but indicative of things to come. Other highlights include the energetic squeal of prominent sax, horns, and equally ernest vocals on "Mamma Used To Tell Me" and the unapologetic dance floor focused "In My Soul" with its sliding guitar licks and swoon worthy singing.

DJ Moneyshot (Solid Steel Radio / The Allergies) - “Slick fonk, brother. It was a toss up between ‘In My Soul’ and ‘Something To Funk On’ as the one I’m taking for The Allergies’ bag, and the latter just pipped it with the bass and the cuts. Props.”
