The new single by Plankton’s latest artist MATT JR HURLEY is released today and is now available on all major digital music download and streaming sites Worldwide, including iTunes and Amazon.

“Even after being involved in the running of Plankton Records for 25 years I still find it exciting when we release something new and it’s also a bonus when it is by a new artist too!” commented Keith Dixon of Plankton.

Matt’s single has been garnering a good level of interest even prior to release day. Amongst the activity, last weekend Matt was interviewed on London’s Premier Radio and this week top UK CCM website Louder Than The Music posted a news article about the single (to read the full article CLICK HERE).

THE DARN FUNK ORCHESTRA’s album ‘Soul Food’ has earned another great review, this time from top UK CCM site CrossRhythms

“Points of reference are the obvious influences of funk, soul, jazz and ska, but they owe more to early Dexy’s Midnight Runners than, say, The Fatback Band. This all-white five piece have a full-on brass section attack, balanced by poise, precision and patience. Darn’s vocal delivery clearly evokes London-Essex rather than Chicago or Detroit and reminds me of various acid jazz acts of the early 90’s” notes the reviewer in the middle of his review in which he awarded the album a great 8/10
