STEREO BEATZ: Stereo Beatz EP (2012)

Admittedly this is a bit late but there’s cause to celebrate in the Stereo Beatz camp since it ain’t final til it’s vinyl and he must feel like he’s arrived at last with this 12″ after two digital releases on BigM.

First up is We Need Some Funky Horns which grafts a bit of twenty-first century bottom end on the ass of an old KC & The Sunshine Band number. The other two tracks are a brace of remixes. Timothy Wisdom (who, it has to be said, sounds like he is a character off legendary seventies kids TV Rentaghost) does the business with SB’s Rockin’ The Party…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
