NEW REVIEW! Danish culture journalist Ivan Rød gives ”Roots” top marks, 5 STARS! 😎 He writes:
”The seventh album, ”Roots”, will expand the stature and renown that is already established. Because the band’s music is riveting, elaborate and technically as well as artistically of a very high class. It simply grooves!”

MUSIKANMELDELSE Det svenske funkjazzband, Beatfunktion, har med foreløbig seks album positioneret sig markant hjemme og internationalt – det har modtaget udbredt anerkendelse fra anmeldere og helt generelt publikums gunst på alverdens dansegulve, sociale medier, etc. Og det 7. album, Roots, vil bare udbygge den position og det renomme, som allerede er etableret. For bandets nye musik er medrivende, gennemført og både teknisk og kunstnerisk af meget høj klasse. Den swinger simpelthen! Bandet balancerer (endnu engang) ekstremt fint mellem det nostalgisk antikverede og det mere moderne raffinerede. Det lyder det ene øjeblik som islandske Mezzoforte gjorde det i 1980’erne, det andet øjeblik som noget helt anderledes og nyt – og dette sidste meget takket være de mere jazzede solopartier, som alt andet lige hæver musikkens niveau. Disse soloer – uanset om de udgår fra Daniel Lantz (keys), Johan Öijen (elektrisk guitar), Olle Thunström (tenorsax) eller Karl Olandersson (trompet) – er præget af energi og råstyrke og understøttes konsekvent og fint af Pal Johnson (elektrisk bas) og Jon Eriksson (trommer). Man må lade den centrale figur i orkesteret, Daniel Lantz, at han har formået at skabe et act af sjælden stor styrke. Et band, der med snilde kobler funk- og jazzmusik.

NEW REVIEW! Swedish jazz music journal Orkesterjournalen gives positive words about ”Roots”! Dan Backman writes: ”The seventh release from Swedish jazzfunkers Beat Funktion is very groovy!” 😎
MORE VINYL? 😎 We are happy to report that the sales of the 300 only limited vinyl edition of "Roots" look really good and we are after two months of sales at gigs and two weeks of sales in stores down to only 100 copies left worldwide (so hurry and get your copy)! This means that we are now planning for limited double vinyl reissues of the old albums as well and want to gauge the interest, but we can only take one step at a time. Which album should we start with? Check out the preliminary vinyl covers below and give us your vote in the comments! Which of the old ones deserve to go vinyl first? 🕺🕺🕺
