I haven't heard the subfunk 12", I have to mention how good
all the releases on the offshoot label are. If you like melodic
funky techno with a touch of house then this label is for you.
Here is what Offshoot has done so far:

Offshoot:
. Bush Flange: Style Wars 12" (Offshoot/SHOOT 001)
. Aubrey: Marathon 12" (Offshoot/SHOOT 002)
. Obelix: Sublime 12" (Offshoot/SHOOT 003)
. Aubrey: Octane 12" (Offshoot/SHOOT 005)
. Skymaster (Mark Ambrose): Proton Beams 12" (Offshoot/SHOOT 006)

My favorite is the Obelix 12".
