We've been long time fans of Joseph Malik having made his name 20 years ago; even a record label took their name from his track 'Futuristica'!
More recently he's been working with Ramrock Records and they've been promising us something special from Joseph for some that. Adding a Roy Hargrove-esque trumpet (by David Rosenthal) to Joseph's soulful vocals with deep space synths from old-skool Detroit/Chi-Town plus jazzy keys, this is as good as next gen house gets.
And it doesn't stop there as there's the instrumental and a dub that's even brillianter as it merges on Isaac Asimov meets King Tubby at the Peechy NYC Boy disco; but guys, surely it needs to be at least 12" length?
George's background is as deep as Joseph's with numerous remix releases classic labels like Glasgow Underground, NRK, 2020 vision, Crosstown Rebels, Tirk, and more recently Greco-Roman and Toolroom so together they make a great team and folks will be flocking to Scotland to be as hip as they are on the back of this no doubt [well Rebecca Vasant (Tru-Thoughts) got a "Jazz Warrior" moving from the South Coast to Glasgow a couple of years ago so it's not that far fetched].
Releasing this a few days ahead of Twelve Caesars' 'California Sleaze EP', (review HERE), F*CLR have their futuristica heads on as I'm calling it now, 'Automatic Self On Hold' track of the year!
