Live from Rotterdam (DJ Set)   https://soundcloud.com/tuxedofunk/rotterdam   

brilliant

can hear me and my friends in quite a few spots where the crowd are screaming and singing along

Finally picked up the cd and this is my only real exposure to the group.  Going into it, the only comparison for me would have been chromeo. After a few play throughs, I must say I enjoy chromeos last two albums more.

Can anyone recommend anything better by these guys that I get also pick up?  Even a solo album by Hawthorne that's good?

the 'Where Does This Door Go' LP, a classic project with a mix of influences, styles and genres. get the itunes version if you can as it has an extra Pharrell produced track. his first two albums are more smooth, laid back soul numbers so check those out if that sounds appealing. 'Henny & Gingerale' is another great track from Hawthorne and Jake One.

This is g-funk meeting 2015. Lot of g-funk sounds and just good funky music. I'm bumping this every day in my car.

if you didn't like 'Do It' i don't think you'll enjoy this record, as that's one of if not the best track. it's Jake One's production but it's nothing like his Hip Hop material. to be fair a few of us have said the album wasn't all that amazing, though enjoyable for 80s funk fans. the Chromeo comparisons were apt were so unless that or Hawthorne in general is your cup of tea...

btw bumpin gift of hand 4th dimensional album ... most of the production handled by jake one

a lot of the production is almost gfunk sounding so you might like it, especially the basslines. i sent you a link to check it out anyways...

^that production is dope, still feel the vocals could be better tho....the singing doesnt give off as much of an old-school vibe as the video/production does.
