SMOOVE - FANTASY FUNK BAND
Put together in 2008 for the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC 6 Music. Listeners voted on their favourite musicians to make up the Fantasy Funk Band, my task was to cut & paste snippets together from samples making something that sounded like they were all playing at the same time :)

So, the band comprises:
Female Vocal : Nina Simone
Male Vocal : James Brown
Drums : Clyde Stubblefield
Bass : Bootsy Collins
Keyboards : Stevie Wonder
Hammond : James Taylor
Horns : The J.B's
Male Backing Vocals : The Temptations
Female Backing Vocals : The Supremes

One of my favorite songs from the homie Andy Noble and his King's Go Forth project (RIP).  These guys were amazing and this OG track still gets spins! For this edit though, I slowed the tempo down to a more open format-friendly speed, added an instrumental intro & drum break, and overall rearranged for fun times. Hope you enjoy!

Kings Go Forth - One Day (TREW's Tons of Drums Edit)

Way back in 2001, this featured on my second ever vinyl release, and until 2012 was only available on a long-out-of-print 12".

But, we live in more enlightened times, and, having made it available digitally a few years back, the fine folks at @Jalapeno-Records are now putting it on limited 7" vinyl for those that like their cut 'n' paste disco breaks in an easier to handle package. 
There's a brand new 45-friendly edit of the original on the A-side, backed by the full width of my 'Breaks Of Wrath Re-Edit' from the original EP, where I got a bit sample happy on a hot summer's afternoon back at the turn of the century.

Only 300 copies! Available to order on Bandcamp now! drrubberfunk.bandcamp.com/album/disco-scene

Pushin' Weight

Smoove is the archetypal B Boy made good. Despite his huge international success with Smoove & Turrell and his ability to craft jazz, soul, latin, hip hop and funk into world beating dancefloor killers – he can still be found every weekend he’s not playing live jumping on a plane or a train to go and DJ in Germany , Russia , Italy, Ibiza or just down to Manchester,  Bristol or London wherever his diary tells him he has to go..

Wherever it is, his incredible skills behind the decks mean that he gets asked back and the breadth of the music seamlessly joined by his turntablist skills jumps from disco to funk, jazz to soul, hip hop to house and back again. 

The endless flights, trains and hotel rooms are dead time to some DJ’s but Smoove is always creating new tunes for his set on the fly and working his different influences into the remixes and productions he is currently on. There were at least 40 remixes that could have been  included on this album but in the end he chose the ones that worked best together and made the album flow like one of his legendary DJ sets.

The album contains a number of exclusives including the Smoove remix of the new Third Degree track and a killer smoove remix of Afrka Bambataa, Charlie Funk and King Kamonzi. The Smoove remix of Da Wiesel has only ever been available on vinyl before and his amazing remix of Electric Empire remains unreleased (unbelievably) in many European territories.

Smoove started his recording career for the legendary Acid Jazz label releasing two albums as a solo artist before signing to Jalapeno Records with partner John Turrell to release two hugely successful Smoove & Turrell albums. Their last album was playlisted extensively at Radio 2 and tracks from the album have been used in more than ten film and TV syncs – making Smoove & Turrell  the new darlings of the LA film community.

Smoove is touring with the Smoove & Turrell live band, recording the next S&T album, DJ’ing every weekend and he also just became a dad.   Where does he find the time ?
