Funk Your Bones - EP

Released in 2015, Funk Your Bones - EP serves as a definitive early statement for the Mexican electronic outfit Midnight Generation. While the band would later refine their sound into more complex arrangements, this EP captures them at their most rhythmically pure. The project is heavily indebted to the 'French Touch' movement of the late 90s and early 2000s, utilizing filtered house techniques alongside traditional funk instrumentation. The standout feature across all six tracks is the prominent use of slap bass, which provides a percussive, elastic energy that defines the record's identity. Collaborations like 'Hey Ya!' with Ilse Hendrix showcase a keen ear for pop hooks, while tracks like 'Outerspace' hint at the band's later interest in psychedelic and cosmic synth-pop. Critically, it is regarded as a foundational work in the Latin American disco-funk revival scene, bridging the gap between retro-nostalgia and contemporary dance production.
