The Mighty Mocambos (feat. Afrika Bambaataa, Charlie Funk, Hektek & Deejay Snoop) - It's The Music (7", Mocambo, 2014)
Esteemed collegue Ben Greenslade-Stanton (The Beta Club, The Mighty Mocambos, The Snitch, The Spike Orchestra, etc.) gave us a visit this summer and brought some funky 45s with him to share with us. One of those stands out from the lot: 'It's The Music', released on Mocambo Records in 2014, a heavy piece of modern dancefloor funk, with a big chunk of 'California Love' tease inside. There's even an instrumental 'Part 2' version on the b-side, destined to hurt the less-prepared legs with its mad breaks. Unstoppable grooves that'll go directly in the bag - just splendid.
