Ayres on GAMM? It's true, the bearded Bmore man from NY's the Rub has linked up with fellow funksters Bloodfire(aka Daz-I-Kue) and Sygaire & Defcon with three undeniable reworks of James Brown's biggest hits. It's the beginning of a new 12" series called Doin' James that focuses more on party rocking edits for the dancefloor. Click on "Check Out Ya Mind(1)" for some pumped up funk breaks, "Mama's Dead(2)" for an extended dance edit (for housier audiences), or "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose(3)" for a nitrous hit of that Bmore bounce.
