this i discovered when i going through the website for flora & fauna and like the sweptaways one i had no idea what this was and i was looking for information about something else. all i knew by listening to it that it was one really funky track and it got my attention instantly and bought it.
the track was the lead single coming from their ep released on flora & fauna and has been featured on a couple of compilations. it's a jam from this swedish funk group that starts out a guitar doing some blues riffing and then starts forming a rhythm that is part james brown and part fela kuti. either way when the track kicks right along it really does it in style.
the track got to me in more ways than just liking it and eventually i started listening to it in a different way. if you're a dj or producer this isn't that uncommon since you listen to it as a tool other than an entity onto itself. as i was doing beats here and there at the time and liked to sample and chop up beats, this track got quite interesting fast.
it had many parts that i could easily take and eventually i started to shape an idea of this track in my head. i would use the guitar in the intro on the latter part and also the long horn fill, i would have also filtered the bongos and bassline on the outro and then done something. so many times i started to do something and it just didn't resonate in the end.
i think even though the open parts were really good the whole track is much better as one piece and i shouldn't have fucked with it. actually that was a bold lie, the reason it didn't pan out was that i kept procrastinating and eventually i lost interest of doing that beat. anyhow this is awesome and it should be heard more.
buy here (itunes)
