Bagpak
White Label’s second release comes from Norway’s Kahuun
known for his soul/funk/boogie-tinged electro-organic sounds. ‘Bontelabo’
is an uptempo dancefloor jazz shuffler featuring Myrna’s sweet
vocals floating above smooth rhodes, airy flute, rough upright bassline
and percussive beats – sure to get the dancefloor warmed up and
ready to go. On the flip, Kahuun presents us with a scandalous drunken
jazz number, ‘Slyngel’, complete with a dirty bassline and
naughty horn section that’ll have the crowd jazz steppin’
and a grindin’!
