"Stevie Kotey makes another collaboration after the success of Kotey & Essa's Salon De L'Herbe project which has garnered praise far and wide for its summery euphoria. This time it's with Bear Funk Gold favorite and gentleman from Chieti, Italy, Mr. Fabrizio Mammarella. Fabrizio has been getting props and plays from across the globe after his releases Mystery Guest/Tear Up and Triangle of Love/Allunaggio on Bear Funk and Bear Funk Gold and numerous other European imprints including Tiny Sticks, Brontosaurus Recs and the now newly re-activated Hairy Claw. Things went a bit crazy when Ivan Smagghe included 'Tear Up' in his Fabric (#23) compilation, but he's kept his head down and his feet on the ground. Two tracks were written by Stevie and Chaz Jankel ('Sooner or Later') and have been tossed and rejigged by Stevie and Mamarella. And they've shown their respective skills to the the maximum. 'Love Sprinkle' is a cheeky splash of their musical love with guitar, bass and synth from Stevie and drums, percussion and more synths from Fabrizio. Up-tempo and riding their unique space funk horses, it's a crazy xylophone psych-out for the heads and the feet! The hook will stick! 'Tits & Assets' is more heads down and even trippier with the funk. Then there's the influence of Max Essa on guitar but it's pure Kotey and Mamarella for the end result."
