2020 saw the Allergies unleashing their summer-saving album Say The Word, their best album to date. Its two previous single releases have been monsters; Felony which blasted from every UK radio station of note and the full throttle Latin mash up with Cuban Brothers Let them Know. It seemed only a matter of time before […]
More tracks taken and remixed from the album Stratos Bleu but if the cake is as tasty as this one is, then we can always handle another few slices. Electronic duo Fouk give us a couple of Dutch/Detroit/Dancefloor mixes of Fade Away that is worthy of the source material. Rayka is a new (to me) […]
This was love at first listen. As the shuffling drums gave way to the tightest of funk guitar riffs, the Hammond organ (B3 of course) kicked in and all we needed was some brass to complete the groove. No need for superfluous vocals that’s just gonna stink the room up, just close your eyes and […]
Smoove & Turrell’s sixth studio album Stratos Bleu has been the 2020 Summer Soundtrack, its mixture of old-school dance, disco, hip hop and funk has saved us all from a shitty year. Do It, the track that kicked the album off and set smiles on faces with its nod to Chic Organisation and life […]
Good things CAN come out of bad situations. The Iguana was recorded remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic by the all-star BT ALC Big Band. Trumpet maestro Alex Lee-Clark and trombonist Brian Thomas lead the gang of hep-cats through a classic piece of funked up Mod Jazz. Be careful if you play this in the car, the […]
It’s not a case of lockdown that the reggae tune of Summer 2020 should come from Nottingham’s Liam Bailey. However, White Light has enough energy and bounce that crosses into reggae-disco territory.Leon Michel’s production highlights Liam’s voice and snarky lyrics aimed fully at his latest target ‘You love yourself, you’re so exciting, like no one […]
I was interested to see how these set of remixes worked out. For the uninitiated (and the rock you have been living under must have been huge!) It Ain’t Working is the second track on the superb Stratos Bleu; Smoove & Turrell’s sixth studio album and in this writer’s opinion their best so far. The […]
Who Wants to Live in Castles?Stratos Bleu has been one of the highpoints of 2020 no argument, its mixture of soul and dancefloor bangers has been on repeat in this section of the 60MW compound since its release. Now they have entrusted the Nu-Disco legend that is Hot Toddy and producer Steve Cobby to remix […]
A steel guitar opening that puts the listener smack bang in the vastness of the American country next to a highway that goes who knows where. However, this isn’t a broken hearted confession from a Stetson and steel pedal riding cowboy but mournful bluesy-country-funk from the drifter at the side of that road with his […]
If As Far as we Know and Good Thang are the entrees from Crushed Velvet & the Velveteers then bring on the main course! We here at 60 Minutes With have already raved about the first release from the Velveteers and now we have the incredible sounding Brother GoodLove delivering a smokey soul ballad.Canadian born […]
