Patchouli Brothers bid to take over the dancefloor continues with Edits Vol. 2 out on Razor-N-Tape and it's even more proof that we should be dancin' with you!
You might be surprisd to find out the the Patchouli Brothers are Canadians (more Canuk biz coming soon from the Toronto Hustle and Sean Roman with 'The Symington Avenue EP') and whilst the Bros. are known for disco/soul/Latin/boogie edits and remixes (check out RNT057, Vol. 1), Vol. 2 focuses their reworking of 90s house, 80s electro boogie, Euro dance!
If you thought that we don't need anymore of this re-cycling, the 'P' boys will prove you wrong as they know how to dig and edit all at the same time. The opener with its female vocals en français. 'Male Dans Le Peau' is pure je te ador on boogie time.
Sticking to with the Euro-currencies, 'Mista Hasta La Vista' is heavy on the Spanish castanets with some holiday romance lyrics that would give Baccara a run for their money back in the day, (Ed. Did someone say revival). That said, it seems that there's at least one annual Eurovision entry that manages to make a mess in this ilk so it's healthy that we get a track that gets it right here.
But what you really want this EP for is the night time tracks of 'See You Tonight' that rests heavy on the Peech Boys as they take out NYC and 'All Nite' that's got a vocal of a VAR quality but stick with it, as it's somewhat absorbing (and has a great bouncy bassline).
The Patchouli Brother are nothing less than prolific with releases on influencial labels (like Defected, Soundway Records, G.A.M.M and more) in addition to Brooklyn's Razor-N-Tape (what a busy week they've had with the release of the equally disco friendly, Tom Noble Presents... 'House Of Spirits' (see review HERE).
I'm not sure why we've got an image of a beaver gnawing on a tree stamped on the label but recommend you get your teeth into this one.
