The second instalment of MAW Lost Tapes for all MAW & Kenlou fans & enthusiasts. "Funky Anane" as classic stuff from Kenny and Louie: thick beats, syncopated snares, lonnnng arrangement with thumpin’ kicks and snaps to compliment the Louie Vega walking bassline and deep organ / clarinet interplay. Fact heads! - apparently the vocal sample is taken from Anane's studio work with the pair in 1996.
"Maw Want You" is a early signature MAW groove which has inspired many house producers to pull from that vibe. Featuring an almost Reece bassline, skitty hats and deep driving synths it's like Detroit meets New Jersey meets New York all in one tidy club hit!
Really nice to see MAW revisiting these classic house jams and getting them out there for a new audience. Essential stuff really.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: House music demigods Kenny and Louie are back on it big time. Digging out lost tapes, reissuing classics and dropping more big fresh new bombs via MAW Records and Kay-Dee. This is new material - and guess what - it kicks hard! From the soulful licks of "Funky Anane" to the sub-tickling Reece bassline of "MAW Want You". It reminds us why their the best in the business!TRACK LISTING
