Rework of a classic 90's R'nB joint by 702. "Steelo" was the first single of their debut album in 1996.

Vocals: Kim Van Opstal 
Produced by Louis Van De Leest & Eric Paquet - 2018

702 - Steelo (MonkeyRobot Rmx)

This track was created around the intro of a classic soul-boogie tune from the 80's by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdGNeC2G1AU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Jocelyn Brown</a> that LuiGi sampled a while ago, after finding the 12'' hit-single ' Somebody else's guy ' on a local flea market near his place for a bargain price. It's rather rare (for MonkeyRobot) to start composing a tune from vocal chops; it is actually more common to add vocal bits when the track is almost layered. In this case (even we knew the original track for a long time) the deep and soulful intro from Brown instantly gave us inspiration. LuiGi previously recorded some chords and a melodic structure that we just had to bring back to another key scale, in order to match the vocal chops. The edgy drum pattern and bassline were layered on the same day.
It is our pleasure we finally can share this track, that for an unexplainable reason was put on a dusty shelf for a long period. Most people pretend beats aren't getting better with age like red wine…well, in this case 'Hooked up' still sounds fresh to us.
Enjoy.

Hooked up

This track is a remix of 'The Tourist' by infamous Canadian pianist 'Chilly' Gonzales (real name Jason Charles Beck) from his great and melancholic album ' Solo Piano '. This remix just reflects autumn. "When leaves start to fall" could have been an alternate description for this remix. 

Check the original version on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwQzdBfZ7CA

Gonzales - The Tourist (MonkeyRobot remix)

"Everything is Cool" is a basic boogie type of track based on a T-Connection sample.
That particular record was found on an unexpected afternoon digging.

It took several versions before finding the right drums and bass line and it was even
harder to find drums that would fit the sample,sound-wise. The hihats were recorded live on top
The basic arrangement and the guitar riff where layed down pretty fast; samples
chopped and sequenced on the mpc.

We ended up using a moog type bass, to dub the original bass from the sample.
A pretty simple track but, as they use to say, "Less is more". Enjoy


Everything is Cool

Melting Pot Music (www.mpmsite.com) have teamed up with MonkeyRobot and Belgian jazz pianist/composer Pierre Anckaert. The project '74 Miles Away' was born. This track was released early 2011 on our debut album.

An 'unofficial' remix we recently did to announce the sold out gig of Little Dragon in Brussels, on the 6th of december 2012. Yukimi Nagano's incredible voice screams to be remixed, no more no less. Enjoy our take on this track.

74 MILES AWAY is a collaboration between producer duo MonkeyRobot, jazz pianist/composer Pierre Anckaert and flutist Stefan Bracaval. They’ll take you on a trip from the era of Bob James, Weather Report and Herbie Hancock, 80’s boogie to the future beat sound of today. Heavy analogue synth action and deep Moog basslines are omnipresent, keeping the lush Fender Rhodes sound in balance.

74 MILES AWAY’s first eponymous album was released on Melting Pot Music (2011) and featured collaborations with AHU, Miles Bonny & Carina Andersson (4 Hero). A first single from this album Same Dream Again was released on the infamous London-based label Brownswood.

Early 2013 this Belgian combo hit the studio again which resulted in this 8-track, fully instrumental album, powered by our longtime partners at Laid Back.
Eager to play and please, the band puts emphasis on their energetic live shows. And they are a real treat at the bar too, by the way.
