Codebreaker

OK, their album "What Is This Earth Love?" (2005) BUMPED. If you liked old sophisti-funk acts like Mtume, Skyy, Shalamar, Midnight Star, Zapp & Roger and electro like Cybotron, Egyptian Lover, etc., then this album is right up your alley. Listen to a song sample of their track "Caller". Codebreaker sound like what would’ve happened had electro *stayed* electro and never evolved into contemporary r&b and hip-hop.

THe intro reminded me of this one song that goes like...

"First u put in in
Then u pull it out!!..."
I dont know who the fuck sing that song but I want it. But the melody is so close to that song.
Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records.

My favourite to this day : New Skool Science by Jedi Knights , Global Communication at their best, though you should check them out as well.

The real oldskool electro, made in 1995.... may the funk be with you

For me, the classic is always P-Funk/Funkadelic. Their "Electric Spanking of War Babies" is one of my favorites!
