Dynamite Cuts

Matata is a Kenyan band that was founded by Jeik Kalunga Loksa in Nairobi's "Brilliant Club" in 1963. With their unique sound and energetic performances, they quickly gained popularity in the local music scene. In the early 70s, Matata recorded two albums in London, UK, showcasing their talent to a wider audience.

Their music is influenced by various genres such as funk, soul, and Afrobeat, creating a captivating fusion that keeps listeners hooked. Matata's distinct style sets them apart from other artists and has earned them a dedicated fan base both locally and internationally.

Despite their success abroad, homesickness eventually led to Matata's split as the band members decided to return to Kenya. Nevertheless, their legacy lives on through their timeless music that continues to inspire new generations of musicians.

Dynamite Cuts is a label founded and run by an individual who has a deep love for 7" singles. With a focus on Jazz, Funk, Breaks, Soul, and Classic film scores, Dynamite Cuts aims to extend the beauty of this wonderful format. Each release comes with heavy card covers and a copy of the original LP sleeve, but now in mini form for the first time. The label puts love and passion into reproducing the original artwork and sound quality, creating a collector series that is truly special.
The founder's intention with Dynamite Cuts is to provide DJs and collectors alike with *movers and groovers*, *unknown wonders*, as well as anthems from various genres. These records are perfectly sized for DJing at 45rpm or can be enjoyed at 33rpm for a great listening experience. The attention to detail in both the visual presentation and audio reproduction makes each release stand out.
With its dedication to preserving the charm of vinyl records, Dynamite Cuts offers music enthusiasts an opportunity to own timeless classics in a unique format. Whether you're searching for rare gems or iconic tracks from renowned artists, Dynamite Cuts' collector series promises to deliver exceptional quality that will captivate any music lover.

Dynamite Cuts is proud to release this mighty afro funk 7” double by the mighty Matata band. Both tracks taken from the Mega rare and collectable Independence LP. On the A side is “I Feel funky” the perfect club dancer, with its up-tempo groove and catch chorus, win, winner. On the flip is the hidden treasure, and for the first time on 7” vinyl the massive!! “Talkin’ Talkin”, a killer afro funk mid-tempo groove with a great lyric plus an almighty old school drum break, just perfect. A must have 7” for all club DJs and alike.
