Detroit native and veteran funkmaster Amp Fiddler has been a pioneer in the Motor City for over twenty years. The keyboardist/producer’s resume includes a ten year stint in George Clinton’s band as well as working with everyone from Moodyman to Maxwell. Released on Yam Who?’s Midnight Riot label, “Motor City Booty” is a 11 track dance floor burner that showcases his distinctive sound of formulaic funk and soul. Among the highlights are “Superficial” filled with soulful dance grooves peppered with funky keys and percussion. “Soul Fly Pt. 1” is vintage 60s soul while Pt. 2 is a pulsating party house groove. Both versions as well as other tracks here feature the sultry vocal trio Dames Brown as well as contributions from Nico Redd and Alena. Fiddler’s myriad of infectious grooves are synonymous with the Detroit sound and ensures you’ll have a funky good time throughout this enjoyable disc.
