Tiny Giant - Sắp mưa

Brooding talent Prequel hops from one West Yorkshire-helmed label to another with a refined, organic EP for Lobster Theremin sub-label Distant Hawaii. 

Tender whispers of nostalgia and an enduring call of solace underpin opener 'The Song I Said I'd Make For You'. Dust-pattered EQ sweeps, twinkling semi-bells and washes of warm, incandescent synth. Buzzing low below the sofa; a hue from the matte surface of a fuzzy carpet. 

'And Though It's Been Too Long' startles, and it also sets. A slowly softening conundrum, a wild thought that coalesces in the briefest moment. Shuffling by but never forgotten. 

Sensual, caressed chords shower over label favourite 'People Say'. A personal moment of true love captured in time; I can see your face; can you see me? Some might call it a reprise of Ross From Friend's epic debut, most will say it's as sultry and captivating as the M&S advert. Rich, melted chocolate sax pouring over a bed of soft, padded sponge drums. 

Sombre note on the tail end; 'Give Me Things That Don't Get Lost' cuts a lonely figure in the morning mist. Bus stop waits, a solo journey through life. They never come. But then four come at once.

A1. The Song I Said I'd Make For You
A2. And Though Its Been Too Long
B1. People Say
B2. Give Me Things That Don't Get Lost

Todd Rundgren - Hello, It' Me

First time this is available digitally, free download for a limited time only, folks! 

The first time I heard Sivuca's amazing version of "Ain't No Sunshine" was around '89; acid house was all the rage and, quite frankly, pissing me off a little bit, so we decided to organise a rave of our own. One where you could hear all sorts of sounds. Case in point, the DJ dropped the Sivuca bomb at about six in the morning, the sweat was crawling up the walls and people started peeling off their shirts. It just blew everyone's minds. Then the police turned up. Luckily though, it was just some coppers coming off the night-shift and wanting a beer so we let them in and carried on. 

But I never forgot that moment and recently I decided that I really wanted to do a tribute to that great man and his band, of which this was the result.   

This is track A1 of a 12" vinyl-only release out on Kat Records. 
Mastering by Ebony Cuts.

Rainer Truby [Germany] - "Ain´t No Sunshine" for me here…well done spiced up Sivuca niceness…;)

Craig Charles, Funk and Soul Show, BBC6 Radio [UK] - Played on Saturday 9th Feb 2013

Dj Ease, Nightmares on Wax [UK] - Totally loving these... 

Michael Rutten, Soul Searching [Germany] - Mos def going for the Latin twists here, two for the summer, and winter, and spring, and yes, autumn, why not?

Danielle Moore, Crazy P [UK] - WOW INDEED&rt; Red Hott my fave . Thats how I like my funk. Deep, industrially deep even! Synthed out of its face. Heavy bass that makes you want to dance in the doctors waiting room. Great package... thank you xxx

Jeremy Sole - KCRW / theLIFT - Los Angeles [USA] Played "Ain't No Sunshine" on my show last week. Love it!

Simon Harrison, Basic Soul Radio [UK] - Damn these mixes are fantastic - my fave so far is Ain't No sunshine which will feature on next week's show!!

Leftside Wobble [UK] - Stella release. From a personal perspective it's great to see KAT back to it's roots of quirky leftfield jazz-dance numbers and underground soulful funk. Real quality across all three cuts.

Andy Wilson, Sonica Radio [Ibiza] - I wondered what happened to Casbah 73, I used to play his Lovemonk LP a lot. Sivuca is an old favourite and the Manfredo Fest track is amazing, love it. Played it on my show this week, another quality selection, thanks!

Graeme Park [UK] - Love these tracks... Especially Big Fat Bottom.

Richard Rogers / Black Booby [UK] - Redd Hott - Big Fat Bottom (Casbah 73 Edit) - Big slapping arse style edit that fits quite nicely into the BB sound, My ass is shaking all over the place just thinking about it! Sivuca - Aint No Sunshine (Casbah 73 Rework 2013) - My fav on the EP, beautiful intro and blissful percussion, has been treated with love

Bobby Beige, Garden Festival Resident [Croatia] - Casbah 73 edits show us some seriously good cut up Latin funk bombs. Manfredo takes us into carnival territory with it's big brass licks, whilst Red Hott gives us some Trouble Funk style rhythms and cut up samples. Sivuca rounds things off nicely with it's nice slowed down part before kicking back in again full tilt. Full Support,

Mark Milz, Radio Corax [Germany] - Essential stuff...really feelin' the "Big Fat Bottom edit" !!!

Dj Kwak, Strictly Niceness [Brussels] - Jungle Kitten Is just plain ridiculously good ... Aired upon arrival in the show tonight!!

Abe Borgman, Pura Sonica Radio [Costa Rica] Aint no Sunshine is a great and happy track....tropical feelings makes it lovely....I´ll play it !

Because resisting was no option once we clicked on this demo link from Holt and the 808 like bass dropped, commanding a supercharged groove that instantly grabbed our attention. Before we knew it, we were spinning around the sounds of striking LFO leads cleverly layered with a siren to solidify its unhinged nature. 
There is no doubt we were drooling with our mouth full, but once we heard it we couldn't get enough of talking 'bout That Donk.
