Lyn COLLINS / MACEO & THE MACKS - Mama Feelgood / Soul Power 74

Loud, raw, and unapologetically sweaty, Mama Feelgood / Soul Power 74 (Mister Mushi Special Mix) pairs two undeniable heavyweights from the golden era of funk into one deadly 7-inch weapon. On the A-side, Lyn Collins’ “Mama Feelgood” struts with pure James Brown-era attitude — stabbing horns, militant drums, and Collins’ commanding vocal performance hitting somewhere between sermon and street-corner declaration. The Mister Mushi treatment keeps the grit intact while tightening the groove for modern dancefloors, extending the pocket without sanding off any of the original fire.

Flip it over and Maceo & The Macks’ “Soul Power 74” lands like a masterclass in stripped-down funk minimalism. The groove is hypnotic: locked bassline, razor-sharp guitar chops, and Maceo’s sax cutting through the mix with surgical precision. Mister Mushi wisely avoids overproduction here, instead emphasizing the track’s natural swing and low-end punch. The result feels less like a remix and more like a respectful reactivation of a lost club acetate.

What makes this release work so well is restraint. In an era where edits often drift into excessive disco polish, these mixes stay dirty, dynamic, and deeply human. DJs will appreciate the extended usability, while purists can relax knowing the soul of the originals remains front and center.

A killer double-sider for deep funk heads, breakbeat collectors, and anyone who likes their 45s with maximum grease and zero compromise.
