Something for the weekend

Hustles of Culture-Flipjack
This track could also be a 3rd floor classic-it’s got the heavy drums, the upbeat jazzy break, the early 90’s vintage.It reminds me of a time when I could listen to tracks without instantly trying to pigeonhole them (probably because it didn’t know enough about music to be able to). We used check out a night called ‘funkin pussy’, when we were just getting into clubbing-they played all the classic funk stuff and would occasionally drop in tracks like this-it was a little on the obvious side, but nights would always really kick off. Soul2Soul used to play it as well as some of the more edgier house deejays and all the jazzheads finally had a jazzdance track for people who couldn’t dance to records in weird time signatures!.
I pulled it out the crates for last saturday’s basilika which turned out to be an a) an absolute stormer b)a bit of a kelly -classic selection (my bro and some mates were in the house, so it all got a little self indulgent)
I am learning that the less I deejay the more I enjoy it, especially if it means being able to regularly drop tunes this heavy.
Have a great weekend.
