The Stance Brothers

Finnish drummer/Producer Teppo "Teddy Rok" Makynen returns with his alias The Stance Brothers. Lauded by the likes of Kenny Dope and Gilles Peterson, Makynen's studio creation has been visible on the 7" format during the recent years. Now, Makynen is back with a full LP, the project's first in more than ten years. Duktus is a treasure-trove for everyone into crunchy jazz funk a la Bob James & CTI, but this is no retro exercise. Teddy Rok moves forward in all directions, constantly bringing new elements into his sound, which is more layered and deep than ever before. At the same time, the crunch & the breaks are there when you need them.
