Hey All We (Ninja Tune) had a licensing deal with Instinct/Shadow for approximatly 3 years. ZEN24 was the last release they did for us. Everything after that is handled by our U.S/Canada domestic Ninja office. Shadows relentless caning of our back catalog on various cash-in compilations makes the matter confusing, but don't be fooled, you're not getting anything new. Funki is one James Braddell. He was also one half of Ninja act 9 Lazy 9. As Funki he has released 3 full length records ('Hed Phone Sex', 'Love Pussycats & Carwrecks', and 'The Ultimatly Empty Million Pounds') and various e.ps and singles. Take Care Jeff
