The Get Down by Obliveus
August 2014
Soundway Records have long been a choice label known for their latin-tinged, funkier than a sweaty plumber’s crack beats that always go down a treat when you’re on that late night tip, but it’s their tropical pathways that I’ve been feeling the most as of late. Case in point is the uber-island sounding brilliance of Fumaca Pretaand their jam, Tire Sua Mascara, which is equal parts electronica, acid house and cock rock mixed with a whole lotta’ psychedilic sounding island music. What??? Yeah, you have to check these cats out simply because they are on a wavelength few dare to travel. Whilst you’re tripping out, why don’t you do yourself a favour and peep Band Camp for a compilation that just missed my column last month, The Wah Wah Version from the always on-point Wah Wah 45’s label. Featuring their ‘always in-demand’ tracks that have been released on 45’s over the past 10 years, plus a couple of nuggets that haven’t seen the light of day, this album absolutely rules my life at the moment. Fans of the Hackney Colliery Band will spot the standards making an appearance and the Part-Time Heroes melancholy rendition of Dancing In The Dark is still a treat, but it’s the Richard ‘Groove’Holmes classic No Trouble On The Mountain from The Gene Dudley Group that has me salivating and will be turning heads on a dance floor guaranteed. I suggest you hit this up pronto and with that I am out of here.
