Montreal jazz-funk collective Busty and the Bass have teamed up with Philly-by-way-of-Atlanta rapper STS to present KARNEVAL EP, a collection of soulful late night hip-hop centring around the theme of a forgotten fairground, evoking memories of relationships, desire, and nostalgia. The EP ebbs and flows as it explores different and contrasting sonic bounds - from sultry smooth ballads (featuring the soulful falsetto of Jordan Brown) to bouncy funk/disco with nods to Prince and Michael Jackson - all connected through a shared feeling of frustrations with love, sexual temptation, and an impatience for those feelings to transpire.

Old school legends of the form, like George Clinton and Macy Gray, lend their talents to new school sounds that share a lane with contemporaries like Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals.
Produced by Grammy Award-winner Neal H Pogue (Outkast, Tyler The Creator) and Executive Produced by Earth, Wind, & Fire's Verdine White, 'Eddie' seamlessly combines moments of elated grooves, psychedelic funk, romantic R&B, and emotional soul; All with unparalleled musicianship and adventurous arrangements.
