JC Freaks – comprising of our very own Anthea and Werner Niedermeier, have already firmly established themselves with their two Wandering (the Mojuba sublabel) releases.
‘Dub Praise’ is a sultry, funked-up assault on the dancefloor, incredibly direct and immediate but full of subtle modulations and dub chords. There’s a jacking, almost boompty feel to the track, but the blissed-out vocal snippets, rich synth-tones and burbling acid licks give it a timeless, rolling quality beyond that. On the flip there’s a remix from The Revenge, AKA Graeme Clark. Phonica have been huge fans of Clark’s releases on labels like Jiscomusic and Instruments of Rapture over the years, both solo and as part of 6th Borough Project. Here he reimagines ‘Dub Praise’ as a deep disco track which is all spaced-out percussion, breezy keys and low-slung bass but has real character and intensity to it. Hope you like it as much as we do…
