DJ YODA - Wheels - 2006 - single review



Rating: 4/5

Consider this phenomenon - although my toilet air freshener smells really nice there are times when you can detect beneath it a more sinister odour that its piney fragrance was intended to mask. This record will be a bit like an audio version of that for those old enough to remember Level 42 - which 'Wheels' samples. Getting your groove on when you hear it will seem like an excellent idea but will also conjure to your mind unpleasant images of Mark King - Level 42's hideously smug singer who wore his bass so high it was effectively a guitar shaped beard. I AM old enough to remember Level 42 so, unfortunately, my enjoyment of what is basically an infectious mid-tempo hip hop instrumental will forever be soiled by one of its catchy vocal loops.
