Harrell & Sharron Lucky – Clap Snap Stamp
As most break obsessed DJs/collectors know, instructional records are often a solid place to find a bit of quirky funk. The nature of the genre, music plus instructions, sometimes together, sometimes separate, all but guarantees clean, open breakdowns. “Clap, Snap, Stamp” gives us a nice bass & drum combination right from the start before an announcer/singer, who I’m just going to assume is Harrell Lucky, tells us how to have some fun on an inverted square of carpet. If you decide to follow along (though in all honesty, the above picture of the kids on their squares feels slightly ominous, but maybe I’ve been watching too much 1970s/1980s horror of late), make sure to remember, “shag carpet not recommended.”
