Kiss The Future
Soul Jazz
PUNK FUNK
This spans the entire career of MARK STEWART, THE MAFFIA & THE POP GROUP.
\'Kiss the Future\' is a mixture of new material (with new collaborators such as THE BUG, SANJAY T), classic material from the legendary Pop Group, as well Stewart\'s groundbreaking solo-work from the 80s to the present day with the legendary SUGARHILL RECORDS/TOMMY BOY rhythm section (as THE MAFFIA) along with producer ADRIAN SHERWOOD (ON U SOUND). \'Kiss The Future\' also includes rare and unreleased material.
The music ranges from Post-Punk/Funk to Electrofunk, Hip-Hop and Dub, Mark Stewart brought Black music influences into Punk for the first time influencing a generation. Mark Stewart is one of the most respected musical figures in music. LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, DFA, THE LIARS, !!!, RADIO 4, etc and the whole new wave of New York bands are heavily influenced by the sound. From The Maffia\'s early days playing alongside GRANDMASTER FLASH, AFRIKA BAMBAATA and SUGARHILL GANG the group have since played with everyone from MOS DEF to THE LAST POETS, from JAMES BROWN to GEORGE CLINTON. As well as the original punk/funk outfit The Pop Group (which he founded) inventing what became The Bristol Sound and influencing the music of MASSIVE ATTACK, TRICKY, Mark Stewart himself is the artists\' artist: NICK CAVE and DADDY G have been quoted as choosing Mark Stewart as their favourite ever artist. With everyone from CARL CRAIG to SONIC YOUTH, DJ HELL to DAVID BOWIE (!) citing Mark Stewart as an influence, this album is the first to bring his musical career together. The first-edition of this release comes with a set of postcard sized-prints of
original and archival graphics designed by Mark Stewart
