Acclaimed London-based House music duo Funk Cartel continue their rise to the top with the deep and anthemic ‘Party Out’ featuring “The First Lady of House Music”, Kym Mazelle, released on Point Blank Recordings.
Following their huge hit ‘Supernatural’ featuring Ultra Naté, ‘Party Out’ sees Funk Cartel team up with another iconic House music legend, Kym Mazelle, to delivera feel-good track which is certain to explode on dancefloors and really get the party started! Kym Mazelle’s sultry vocal works perfectly alongside Funk Cartel’s hypnotic beats and addictive hi-hats.
Funk Cartel said: “Kym Mazelle is a true legend having been there from the start of House music and working with her vocal was a real honour for us. We met with Kym, and she shared her stories back from when the genre was being formed. We took inspiration from this and so wanted the record to take influence from that classic House sound. It’s upbeat and feel good carrying over the vibe from Supernatural (with Ultra Naté) nicely.”
