Private Funktion is the third studio album from the daddy's of the lounge-hop scene.

The album features a few collaborations, with Triumph Stag featuring the keyboard talents of Alan "The Hawk" Hawkshaw. The Skeewiff guys hooked up with the hammond legend a few years back and produced an album for him on his label. Alan - the man behind some of the most memorable keyboard lines in music history (think Mohawks - Champ) was only too happy to return the favour for the guys.

They also teamed up with Jalapeno label boss Trevor Mac to produce a remake of Man of Constant Sorrow. Elliot, Alex & Trevor DJ together as the Skeewiff Soundsystem and the track originally came about as a live mix dropping the accapella from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack over some Skeewiff beats. It ended up being a highlight of the show and the guys went into the studio together to produce their own version of the track. A few talks with several lawyers later and the legal version made it on to the album.

Love Power features the sugar sweet vocals of Charlise Rookwood, a long time member of the Jalapeno family and as well known now for her toasting with Killa Kela as she is for her vocal performances on tracks like this and previous Skeewiff hits like Nitty Gritty.

Wet Your Beak is an ode to the joys of drinking and features a thirties boogie woogie pianoman telling the world why he likes his vice so much. Skeewiff would like to take this opportunity to point out that excessive binge drinking is neither big nor clever although it can occasionally be very funny. Another Martini anyone?

Ruby's Revenge allows Skeewiff's eastern leanings to come to the fore with chunky sitar breaks providing the backdrop while Soul Bossanova is a faithful and respectful update of the Quincy Jones classic.

Whether you choose a pub, bar, juicer, boozer, cocktail joint or hotel lobby you can be sure that in 2006 this album is going to be playing in any of the fruitier establishments you choose as your watering hole.
