Lead single from The Allergies latest EP, Calling The Shots. Available now at Juno.

"They've really come up trumps with this EP. A return to slamming funky breaks...and I love 'em for that" Craig Charles (BBC 6music)

It leads off with dance floor bomb, Special People – A cut that’s pure b-boy dynamite and sure to rival their chart-topper, Heartbreaker, as another peak-time classic. The rest of the four-tacker takes in Jurassic 5-style hip-hop jams (React), uptempo soul stompers (As We Do Our Thing), and boombastic blues rock (Feel Alright), and features rappers Skunkadelic and Figure of Speech, as well brass from the KPS Horns and licks from guitar legend, John Fairhurst.

This time around, Amerigo takes on James Brown in The Big Payback Vol lll. In the third and latest offering from "The Big Payback" summer mix series, the producer follows the exceptionally awesome first and second volumes from the legendary DJ Scratch and master craftsman, J. Period.  

Bringing together a fantasy league of all-stars for his "J.B. and The Soul Mates" tribute concept, the producer's latest offers an alternative to the sometimes uninspired, profit-driven, posthumously released albums. 

With guest appearances from Bob Marley, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fela Kuti, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and more, Amerigo pays tribute to the God Father of Soul with a re-imagined set of co-conspirators.

"I'm not sure any other artist has left their imprint on popular music, especially across so many genres, as much as James Brown has.  With as many of today's hit songs that were built around some sort of James Brown flip, it's almost like he had a say in what the music of future generations would sound like without even knowing it."

I've been really enjoying this group lately as they have a nice afro-funk feel to their wide variety of covers & originals. This tune is something near and dear to my heart as one of the first funk pieces I heard & loved, and I think they did a fabulous job covering it! I love breaks, so I chopped the tune up a little & gave those drums some extra shine. Go give them a like over at https://soundcloud.com/funkallisto. cheers!
