CNPY 007EP
|
"CNPY007 marks a strong return to Canopy for Sam Redmore, on the second edition in the Alafia series where he impresses with two powerful and inspired re-imaginings of these tropical synth future-classics. Afro-centric broken beats meet dirty fuzz basslines. Chic-esque guitars and icy synths swirl among horn crescendos and steel drums. Sam assembled a troupe of tight players who deliver slick performances which sincerely compliment the original arrangements, while he turns the electronic tropical funk factor to full -- Inspired music reinvented for inspired dancefloors."

"CNPY006 sees Spanish producer Kiko Navarro paired with the vocal stylings of veteran Beninois powerhouse Kaleta and the indefatigable talents of The Ibibio Horns. Kiko lays down a superbly inspired afro groove which takes its lead from the funk, disco & afrobeat which were causing profuse sweating and serious inflammation of dancefloors across Nigeria and West Africa in the late 1970s. Over these rhythms The Ibibio Horns conjure up a powerful concoction with their blazing horn section and scintillating keys. Kaleta reigns supreme on the vocal delivery, serving a challenge with his call to the dance... 'Funky man dey sleep? You go wake him up!' On the flipside Kiko sets the thrusters to full force. In his tougher KOKI guise he jettisons the live bass and horns, switching up the groove with an insistent and throbbing, acid inspired bassline."
