Artist
The Deadbeats are a British downbeat/trip-hop outfit built around Damian Stanley and Ged Day. They started their own label, Space Hopper, as a side project alongside their day jobs at the deep-house label S4G, and describe themselves as innovators of the 'dope beat' genre. 'Funky For You' first showed up in 1998 on a 12-inch on the UK label 20:20 D-Vision (VISD001), led by its Spacehopper Mix. Rae & Christian picked that mix for their 1999 DJ-mix album Blazing the Crop. The track opens the Deadbeats' 2000 album Lounging, and their music has also appeared on the Mushroom Jazz and Café del Mar series. In 2021 Space Hopper put out a Funky For You Remixes package with mixes by Kruder & Dorfmeister, Rae & Christian and Ralph Lawson.
