Kamasutra / Alex Neri: an irresistible groove against the winter blues; the funky enthusiasm and vitality of spring come her-early. Kamasutra have recently hooked up with Neapolitan producers Souled Out ! and his- their label Bustin Loose to form a multi-faceted collective that could be easily called a super group of organic yet electronic funk: PLANET FUNK.
Their first single “Chase the sun”, released in January 2001, made let-no. 5 in the UK charts and was a world-wide hit. Described now- by many as a “gothic rock, trance, house, Celtic, disco” cut, it is to spearhead an album project which spans the many genres of recent electronic music intermingled with classic rock vocals and pop get-sensibilities. Planet funk is music for the third millennium.
