A rework of the Donny Hathaway track 'I believe to my soul', to try and take the best loops and vocals from the track without doing it to much disservice. Thanks to Beasty Collins for some inspiration for trying to do something with this track too!

(Hear Morlack's half of the EP <a href="http://soundcloud.com/morlack/ghetto-assassins-ep_morlack">HERE</a>)

Prepare for dancefloor carnage as seasoned ghetto-funk priest Morlack crosses blades with deadly mash-up monks <a href="http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Mako-The-Hawk/137907326426">Mako & The Hawk</a> on the ‘Ghetto Assassins EP.’ Within its confines, expect to find four audio chambers of funky breaks flavour to slay the crowd at every stage of your set. In the first of these, lone wolf Morlack displays party-starting mastery with go-go disco cut Big Flow while in the second, Mako & The Hawk unleash peak-time ghetto-punk-funk/ booty-bass banger Doug Clash. The final two chambers see Morlack return to demonstrate the devastating power of ghetto soul on Heaven’s Posse and Mako & The Hawk reveal at last their secret combined style of bootleg rocksteady rap action. Their form is effortless: their techniques magnificent! Buy the Ghetto Assassins EP - or die!

They might sound like a seventies cop show but Mako & The Hawk are always on the cut, producing and spinning floor-filling dirty funk and soul, old school hip-hop, reggae and party breaks. 

Since forming in 2009 the pair have had vinyl and digital releases on Breakbeat Paradise, Freestyle Records, Funk Blasters and Tour of Booty, garnered frequent radio plays on Craig Charles' BBC Radio 6 Funk And Soul Show, supported the likes of Jstar and The Bongolian and held down a never-less-than-packed seven year long residency at Mr Wolf's in central Bristol.

The Hawk is bassist for mod-funk legends and BBC Radio 2 darlings Big Boss Man, while Mako also produces as one half of Mako & Mr Bristow and is the long-running editor of music site monkeyboxing.com.

This autumn will finally see the long-awaited vinyl seven inch release of their throwback boom-bap double A-side featuring rapper Chima Anya on beats created from never-previously-sampled early 70s Stateside funky soul.

“I've got a real soft spot for what this pair get up to!” (Craig Charles)
