• 1. Migraine
      • 2. Migraine (Instrumental)

      Funk heads, you'll be needing this one in your bag because 'Migraine' by North Carolinian musician Dennis Garner alongside Dennis O. is a rare and intoxicating slice of local magic. Originally hampered by a lathe test tone accidentally left running for a bit mid-track, this 45 rpm has long frustrated DJs and collectors. Now, with that annoying issue corrected, the track shines in all its deep, groove-laden glory thanks to the great folk at Athens of the North. Packed with irresistible rhythm and tight instrumentation, there's a sense of joyful spontaneity to this tune which is sure to reclaim its place on dancefloors.
