The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.
although from 2009, i jsut stumbled across this great tune, like so many others by our amazing & blossoming YUM YUM top tunes facebook group. the group keeps getting better and better and improves, with a few candidates, that simply always deliver the goods. cant wait to get google+ working for exchanging music and videos.
anyways, that was way off topic, enjoy this fine video and great version.
Dancefloor superdarlings Breakbot deliver the funkiest, disco reminiscent remix of this Chromeo tune, that makes me instantly think of the happy days of disco – for some reason Chapelles Rick James & Charlie Murphy jump into my mind and somehow, this makes me miss the chapelle show even more. Even though only slightly different fom the original, this remix feels less processed and way more organic – no offense, Canadians. The Breakbot remix has some epic early 80ies cheesiness, makes the man in the wheelchair boogie and is a pure PAN Soul Midnight Affair and Solange Knowles dancing queen vocals have me hallucinating visions of some late 70ies discoteque packed with overdressed and overstyled Agneta Clones and Dirk Diggler lookalikes. French as only the french can – I Moustache you a question: ” ‘Ow come vous etes zo fuenkie?”. Enjoy the dance
Ps in case you missed it, check out the Breakbot Lazy Sunday Selectah Mixtape
Outstanding tune by a new Uk star, London born irish raised singer Maverick Sabre, lays down this soulful tune “Let me go” (released July 24th) as an opener to his debut album (nov 2011). If you are into the likes of Cee Lo, Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Jamie Lidell, this is your man right now, but in comparison to aforementioned this guy also incorporates the modern Uk Sound of Now and still manages to walk the fine line of keeping it soulful, harmonious and vibrant at all times. Its time that one of the really talented new artists represented the youth of today, instead of all that plastic stuff. Looking fwd to his album in Nov and the release of his single. Cant wait to play it out loud. Enjoy this low quality radio rip of “Let me go” that damn video is not working in germany (again). pls start using a proxy everyone. this video restriction crap just aint fun no more. Enough ranting . enjoy Mavericks youtube channel & especially this tune, will be a biggie in no time at all!!

Hands down, this is what i have been waiting for! For all you horn addicts, these guys really make me enjoy the whole lot of their tunes! Finally they drop their debut album on the überawesome WahWah 45s Label – and EVERY song is great!
Pls suport these guys and their great debut record by buying their album right here . I got mine right away, really a fanboy over here. Might even do a second remix to one of their tunes, but w/o a free download. Even though i think our Africa (YUM YUM remix) elevated them to at least becoming known within the german scene. Support these guys, their genuine great compositions and a few greatly reinterpreted cover versions.
