In 2000 they released their first single, "Soul Safari" onSoul Firethe seminal New York label. This was soon followed with a slew of fine limited pressing releases on Timmion and Kennel Klub. Their opening release for Freestyle was a 7” featuring a blistering funk cover ofBeyonce’s“Work it Out”, withRia Currieon vocals.
Over the years, Speedometer have worked with a host of US funk legends including Joe Quarterman, Eddie Bo, Marva Whitney, Martha High, Sharon Jones, James Bell (Highlighters), Lee Fields, Billy WootenandRobert Moore.All were blown away by Speedometer's authenticity and dedication to faithfully creating that original soul-funk sound.
