45 LOVES

Moar

Afro Disco

Moar is back on his 45 Loves  label with a new double single complete with afro disco vibes.

The M side is a haunting vocoder disco number, full of funky clavs, lively congas and Loft-y energy. The original is on the tip of my tongue but has alas escaped me (answers on a DM please!). The MM side is a genius, dubbed-out version of Fela Kuti's "Water Have No Enemy".  Many would argue that you shouldn't fuck with this Fela classic, but I have to say Moar's done the unthinkable and produced something that stands alongside the original in elegant form. Reminds me a little of Cottam's seminal reworking of Bola Johnson's "Afro Sisi" from many years ago. 

No doubt that this 7 inch will find its place in several circumstances of DJ set and continues the flawless form of the label. Recommended!

Moar

Funky Boogie

Moar's 45 Loves series continues with another dose of double disco delights. On side A he applies his hip-hop chops and sensibilities to Glenn Jones' "I Am Somebody", giving it a sense of urgency and freshness we might not be accustomed to. Side B sees Light Of The World's ode to the capitol from 1980, "London Town" sped up slightly, but retaining much of the original's silk and smoothness. You know the drill by now - essential twists on bar room classics for your hard working vinyl disc jock! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Moar's 'fresh n tasty edits on 7" for the working bar DJ' label - 45 Loves continues in earnest. Rather than concentrate on rare and illusive source material he opts to choose classic tracks and give them inventive touch-ups / rub-downs - offering up new twists on classic sounds. It works!
