French multi-instrumentalist and music producer extraordinaire Chris Joss is back again with a new album Monomaniacs Volume 1. Like a long lost vintage LP plucked from a time capsule buried sometime in the 1970’s this album brings Joss back to a distinctly traditional and dusty funk groove. Recalling the iconic blaxploitation and grindhouse film soundtracks of that era, Monomaniacs is filled with ricocheting breakbeats, whirlwinds of wah-wah, rubber-band basslines, cosmic organs, and even a few shredding rock guitars to put some hair on your chest. Can Volume 2 be far behind? Release date: January 12, 2010.

ESL is delighted to bring you the first single from Chris Joss' LP You've Been Spiked. "Discotheque Dancing" is a Hammond infected, breakbeat swinger and gets the remix treatment from Ursula 1000 on the A side while "Wrong Alley Street (part 1)"s blaxploitation funk gets redone by the Fort Knox Five on the B.
