Those fine purveyors of funk-fuelled electronics, Detroit Grand Pubahs are back with a new album for the new decade, and to whet your appetite for this highly anticipated return is their latest single ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’. The teaming of Mack Goudy Jr. (aka Paris the Black) & The Mysterious Mr O was a natural disaster waiting to happen. Miraculously, the personalities of these two tweaked characters seemed to compliment each other perfectly and they instantly bonded. As Detroit Grand Pubahs, they continue to rise to new heights with past albums like ‘Nuttin’ Butt Funk’ which included the mighty ‘Skydive From Venus’ as well as an ever progressing live show. Their own Detelefunk label (Detroit Electro Funk, to give it its full title) took a brief hiatus for much of 2009 while they moved distributors, but now it’s back with all funk guns blazing. On ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’ the Pubahs take on a classic break-up song, but add their own electro twists and turns. In typical Pubahs style the deep, sincere toned vocals, but sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrics from Paris are underpinned by the inspired machine antics of this duo. Long-standing UK tag-team Space DJz (Ben Long / Jamie Bissmire) turn in the first alternative mix; a stripped-down rumbler of dark electro proportions. While the legendary DJ Pierre draws on his pioneering acid skills to distort the vocals and add effective definition, making his ‘Afro Acid Mix’ a major dancefloor contender this summer. Also check out the video for ‘Numb Deaf & Dumb’ while you wait for the Pubahs next album to be unleashed later in the year.
