Kutcorners taps into familiar territory with Full Circle / DiscoPlanetBob, a release that blends classic jazz-funk influences with a laid-back, groove-driven approach.
There is an instant sense of recognition on “Full Circle”. Built around melodies associated with Bob James, the track leans into that timeless sound while placing it over a steady, mid-tempo house groove. It feels relaxed but purposeful, the kind of record that works well in those slower, late-night moments.
On the flip, “DiscoPlanetBob” shifts things slightly. The rhythm becomes more broken, with a funkier swing running through it. The drums feel looser and more playful, giving the track a different kind of energy while still keeping things rooted in the same source material.
Both tracks sit comfortably between edit culture and club functionality. There is a clear respect for the originals, but enough added to make them usable in a modern setting.
Final thoughts
This is not about reinventing anything. It is about taking familiar sounds and placing them in the right context.
A warm, groove-led 7” that feels just as suited to the dancefloor as it does a deeper crate.
