RKX022 DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND - "The Diplomats Of Solid Sound feat. the Diplomettes" on CD/LP/Digital Download.

Produced by Freestyle Records number 1 dj/producer Lack Of Afro, Record Kicks proudly presents the new album by Iowa City ambassadors of funk&soul THE DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND, featuring for the very first time the lovely Diplomettes.

DoSS has already cut 3 full length releases. “Instrumental Action Soul” (2001) on their own Prescription Records and both “Let’s Cool One” (2003) and “Destination…Get Down!” (2005) on the mighty indie Estrus Records. Cut to 2006 and DOSS became backing band to RnB/Soul legend Andre Williams. They recorded “Aphrodisiac” with Mr. Rhythm Williams and it was released in May of 2006 on both Pravda Records and Spanish label Vampisoul. The same year they asked 3 three gifted soul sirens (Sarah Cram, Katherine Ruestow, and Abigail Sawyer) aka the Diplomettes to join the band and the new release is all about them. A pure funk&soul excitement, 11 irresistible numbers including "Hurt Me So (Lack Of Afro rmx)" which is already a Jelly Jazz club classic. The future looks bright for DoSS and the Diplomettes!

"The Diplomats Of Solid Sound have really grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years – starting as more of a garage/mod instrumental combo, but now emerging fully formed as a razor-sharp funk act! They've still got plenty of roots in the 60s, and there's a definite soulful vibe to their music – but the drums are even harder than before, and they've really turned some of their energy towards more 70s-styled grooves. This set features the core combo with really great organ and electric piano lines from Nate Count Basinger – plus tenor, baritone sax, guitar, and drums – and some tracks also feature vocals from the The Diplomettes female trio, a group with a sharper edge than you might expect! Titles include "Lights Out", "Smokey Places", "Soul Connection", "Trouble Me", "Budget Fro", "Plenty Nasty", "Come In My Kitchen", and "If You're Wrong"...." - Dusty Groove America
