After Asoto Union disbanded, Lim broadened his funk sound with greater complexity by incorporating jazz and reggae elements in his new outfit, Funkafric Booster.

Lim also covers ‘연안부두(The Waterfront)’ by the disco-funk unit that ruled the Korean club scene during the late 70s and early 80s, The Kim Trio. The track features jazz vocalist JungRan, achieving a faithful recreation of the unique vibes of the era’s Korean dance music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complete the aesthetic of 60s jazz and the golden age of Lounge, the album’s cover artwork featured AV actress 北条麻妃(Hojo Maki) as the model, whose visit to Korea attracted much interest.
