Musicality’s second release is a remake of the Gil Scott Heron B-side ”The Klan”, featuring Allan Barnes formerly of the Blackbyrds, and Craig Huckaby. The A-side has a wind and keys driven retro-funkiness, aided by Latin percussion. KemeticJust’s remix on the B glues everything together into a slightly faster house-tempo, increasing the propulsion, and likely causing lively dancing to break out. It was mixed by Pirahnahead at United Sound Systems, and mastered by the legendary Herb Powers.
The ever-loving team at Still Music present yet another unmissable selection of East side beats, this time shifting focus from Chicago to Detroit to shine the light on some of the less celebrated talents operating in the city. There is boundless quality at every turn here, from the jazzed out tones of Craig Huckaby to the raw chemistry of Marcellus Pittman. Terrence Dixon does an excellent demonstration of wormhole techno with “The Fall Guy (Part 1)”, and DJ 3000 brings a demonic brand of slow-chugging house to the table. Alex Israel also reminds everyone that he truly is one of the most slept-on gems the Motor City has to offer, so get busy and connect with this utterly essential selection.
Brand new Sound Signature from Craig Huckaby featuring production from Theo Parrish and Pirahnahead. Two tracks of beautiful soul drenched house with spoken words, and an additional beatless poem as a last track.
