about

EXP-7002.

Aubergine's Escape - A gritty and soulful downtempo groove, and a developing story in the life of Ms Aubergine. She needs to get out of town. Fast. This is her soundtrack.

Mess Up Your Mind - Aura was a San Francisco Psych-Funk band that formed in 1974 and played extensively throughout Northern California. By 1976, the band recorded their first and only album at Pacific Recording Studio in San Mateo. Over recent decades the Aura album has grown in stature to become a collectors item. In 1991, the Oakland hip-hop band,“Oaktown’s 357” sampled “Mess Up Your Mind” for their song “Turn It Up”, which raised the Aura album to cult status.
This is our version.

"No one else today makes this brand of cinematic, psychy filthy fusion quite like The Expansions. Can't wait for the LP!" Dom Servini (Wah Wah 45s)

'Cracking mellow funk 45 by The Expansions' DJ Andy Smith
