Betty Wright -  If You Think You've Got Soul (SLY Rework)

Leon Thomas - Thank You Baby

The second coming of Monkey Boots continues with a sleek e-disco charger for dancers chasing thrills not frills.

Impossible Creed is grounded by a 1-2 punch of bottom end - a hypnotic slap disco loop riding a classic deep house bass sound (IYKYK).

String stabs and subtle filtering continue the disco theme but this is no retro release: The precision percussion, pin-sharp stabs, reverse FX and icy pads are ‘now’ AF. And the vocal hook (“I just want to believe”) is defiantly future-facing. There’s a moment after everything stops and the beats crash back with a vocal vamp when you’ll want to believe too.

Chris Reed and Paul Radley formed Monkey Boots more than a decade ago to showcase a new sound, somewhere between their beloved deep house and the nascent nu-disco and edit scene.

With new tracks underway, Paul passed away in 2022. Chris took a long time to figure out whether it was right to see their work through. After securing the support of Paul’s family, he decided it was.

Impossible Creed’s title (and a couple of elements) offer a deliberate nod to their earlier number one Impossible Need *. This is the third Monkey Boots release of 2025 following Monkey Magic, a celebration of some of their finest moments alongside a new version of breakthrough cut Whitworth Strut, and Rice Action, the first all-new track since Paul passed.

It's the latest release from the Natural Rhythms family of labels, which also includes Electric Orange, Red Snapper and Black Sands. All take their names from Aotearoa-New Zealand's beautiful environment. In the case of Grass Green it’s the lush vegetation that covers much of the country.

Juno Review

The Sound of Detroit by one of it's unsung heroes, Amp Fiddlers new album Motor City Booty coming straight off the D Funk assembly line, a full on dance floor affair from Motown to P-Funk, Techno and Neo Soul. This 11 track album produced by Amp Fiddler & Yam Who? includes the massive 'Soul Fly' sounding like a Mark Ronson production had he been hanging out with George Clinton's Parlet followed by the bonafide P-Funk anthem 'Steppin' both featuring the stunning vocals by the Dames Brown girls. Amp Fiddler is credited for taking both a young J Dilla and also Q-Tip under his wing teaching them his Akai MPC techniques, setting the path for some of Hip Hops finest recordings which have defined the shape of things to come. His musical collaborations & current duties include: Moodymann's musical maestro, keyboard wizard for Theo Parrish's live band, a longstanding Funkadelic member, co-writer for Sly & Robbie, Prince, Maxwell, Jamiroquai & Seal to name a few.
