Tracks in order of mix:

1) Open Up Your Mind
2) That's the Funk
3) Kick It fresh
4) Jungle Hoodie

Well, it looks like that scurvy sea dog Pecoe is up to his old tricks again. This time he’s taken to the high seas with his pump action funk chucker. 
Leaving behind his beloved forest of funk, the man’s gone AWOL and he’s only hi-jacked a fishing Vessel fitted with speakers and a glitter ball on the bottom!

Currently he’s making his way through the Great Barrier Reef and grappling the helm in his Ninja Turtle board shorts. What’s his plan? Bringing new life to the once colourful corals with his signature big drummed, funk fuelled smashers! 
He’s been drinking Bacardi for 10 days straight. His cats have scuba gear on and are currently performing the Macarena to an unlikely crowd of Sea Gulls. What could possibly go wrong?

So, let’s get started replenishing the reefs with the power of The Vibe Vessel!

First up is “Kick it Fresh!” A delicious cut of uplifting funk, that slides unsuspectingly into synth growls and stabs that will bring smiles to thousands of species of fish. Currently pissed off at humans for ruining their once beautiful home hopefully this will cheer them up!

Now it’s time to move onto the Sting rays. Rumour has it they have a soft spot for classic funk and Quentin Tarantino flicks. As always Papa Pecoe has the remedy. Swooping in with “Jungle Hoodie” a solid portion of familiarity, coupled with different styles and energies to give the aquatic dance floors what they’re craving!

What’s this? There is life appearing? I thought he was cuckoo but Pecoe must be onto something! Let’s keep with the funk flavour and slam our foot on the accelerator as we slip into “That’s the Funk”. He Borrows Bootsy’s formula while adding several ingredients of his own, bringing a feel-good dance floor smasher to the masses of marine life!

These seas are certainly on the road to repair thanks to this treasure chest full of bangers! Last, but certainly not least Pecoe takes us by surprise with what can only be described as end of level boss music with “Open Up Your Mind” A 122 Bpm stomper that will leave sea cucumber crowds screaming for more in 2019!

Well that was quite a spectacle Pecoe, the boat is pumping, the Bacardi bottle is empty and the felines have sun stroke. Time to make a visit inland me thinks…. Until next time landlubbers, remember look after the ocean or Papa Pecoe will be after you!
