i came in contact with spånka nkpg's music through p3 dans when calle dernulf did a special with them. they are a house music collective from norrköping and released music on their own. they put out a number of records before but i think most got their attention with a track called "work" which was the lead-single off their second album.
that is an all-time favourite track and it's a bumping disco house record that is irresistible. also have to recommend the remix done by the spånka guys themselves that goes on a more mechanical touch (buy here) and kaah's remix (buy here).
i knew about the former version a number of years now but i heard this one recently and fell in love with it. kaah strips it down to his funk sound but he adds vocals on his own and decided to start reciting the lyrics to the jungle brothers' classic "i'll house you". the remix is very kaah and is brilliant in so many ways.
but anyhow the second album was one i copped a long time ago and it's jampacked with good tracks and i could have done a highlight on almost any. for instance i started a recorded set with "how's your father" and i really love "star", "better" & "future". but it's this track, besides "work", that is my favourite on the lp.
it's the album closer and has done me great work in many deeper house sets and it's a stunning track that starts out on a sweet rhodes loop and then takes it from there. the bass stands out before the kick really takes command of the track. then it shifts from being percussive and focusing on the guitar with the accompanying not-quite-scatting.
