College Music Journal – Jan. 1998
*King Britt Presents Sylk 130 – “When the Funk Hits The Fan” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNKm-erUa50&t=4091s // https://www.discogs.com/release/711772-Various-CMJ-New-Music-Monthly-Volume-53-January-1998 // “‘When The Funk Hits The Fan’ is the 1997/1998 debut album by King Britt Presents Sylk 130, released on Ovum Recordings/Ruffhouse/Columbia. It’s a 19-track retro concept album — described as a “faux-soundtrack” — that follows a day in the life of a teenage DJ spinning records in 1977, blending disco, funk, jazz-funk, house, and hip-hop.” Seems like it’s out-of-print and not officially online from his media accounts. I have these promo 12″ singles from my college radio station days! Another almost-classic cut from my CMJ CD rips.*
