Hey All
We (Ninja Tune) had a licensing deal with Instinct/Shadow for
approximatly 3 years. ZEN24 was the last release they did for us.
Everything after that is handled by our U.S/Canada domestic Ninja office.
Shadows relentless caning of our back catalog on various cash-in
compilations makes the matter confusing, but don't be fooled, you're not
getting anything new.
Funki is one James Braddell. He was also one half of Ninja act 9 Lazy 9.
As Funki he has released 3 full length records ('Hed Phone Sex', 'Love
Pussycats & Carwrecks', and 'The Ultimatly Empty Million Pounds') and
various e.ps and singles.
Take Care
