A wonky little flip I made using vocals from the legendary Liquid Swords - Gza and Satisfaction - Benny Benassi. Tried to really learn a lot and get out of my comfort zone with this one, and spent a ton of time on it just getting lost in the creation. I'm ready to let it out into the wild and move onto new tracks. Hope you enjoy, appreciate any reposts, likes and listens! WU TANG forever

Liquid Satisfaction (Subterrenean flip)

Chakachas ‘Jungle Fever’ (greg wilson edit)

99 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2010.

Following on from last week’s Crystal Grass upload, here’s the track that appeared on the other side of GW Ruff Edits #4, ‘Jungle Fever’ by Chakachas (aka ‘Belgian Jungle’), a deliciously wicked downtempo groove that’s been described as ‘one of the first Disco records’. Somewhat bizarrely, this was a Latin combo from Belgium, who’d been recording since the 50’s. Chakachas (or The Chakachas, as there name also appeared) were certainly unlikely Disco pioneers, but ‘Jungle Fever’ became a UK Top 30 hit in 1972, and would no doubt have climbed much higher had it not been pulled off the BBC airwaves because the sighs and heavy breathing were deemed too risqué for the British public’s sensibilities (Donna Summer’s ‘Love To Love You Baby’ still more than 3 years away). However, it was in the US where it found its greatest success – a massive hit, it reached #8 on the US Pop chart, and #11 R&B, selling a million copies in the process. 

As with Crystal Grass, the reason I edited it was purely to extend the length, adding over 2 minutes to the original version. The first time I remember playing it out was at Café Mambo in Ibiza in 2009, which was also the first mix I ever uploaded to SoundCloud:

Big Blow (Ziggy Phunk Rework)

NEW ALBUM 'SHADOW LIGHT' OUT NOW!!

Tahuna Breaks have always encompassed a rich diversity of musical genres and styles.

With six members, the group’s live act is energetic, raw and large. It combines aspects of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and is influenced by artists as varied as James Brown to Daft Punk. The band are well known for mixing genres and have honed their sound on the live stage that encompasses funk, disco, soul, live electronics and roots.

Since inception over six years ago, the band have gained momentum, focusing more and more on addictive rhythms that get audiences moving. They have an appetite for continuously progressing and pushing boundaries in their live performance, and audiences have already begun taking note of the band’s shift towards a sound that is bigger, darker and heavier.

Regulars at major events, the band have performed at The Big Day Out, Homegrown, Highlife NYE, Rhythm & Vines and many other major festivals across both New Zealand and Australia, along with countless tours and sold out performances.

In 2007 they released their debut album Reflections which was followed closely by their highly anticipated second album Black Brown & White in 2009. Both records charted strongly, won awards and have firmly cemented Tahuna Breaks’ place on the New Zealand and Australasian music scenes.

Tahuna Breaks have entered the new decade with a fresh focus and a new challenge. March 2013 saw the Auckland-based group release their third major release ‘Shadow Light’ under the guidance of UK producers ‘Crazy P’. Featuring original and remixed tracks, this album reflects the band’s progression and focus toward the more dance-orientated funk sound that they’ve been so well renown for.

Singles ‘Moves‘,  ’Smooth‘, and ‘Fearless‘ and 'Stars' have all received considerable airplay and have been regulars on the weekly George FM Top 5 chart. 

2014 has seen the band busy in the studio writing and recording new material with the first single ready to drop in May. Stay tuned...
