If you fancy a flutter on the slots, here's one to make the party a jackpot as we return to the 'Hot Slot Machine'.
This was a re-issue from 1992 from the almost unknown Hot Slot Machine. Unknown, that is, outside of South Africa where this "new" sound was big as the then sixteen year olds T. McCool and King Rap as they went on to make this, their third album as Hot Slot Machine' with writer/producer Joe Nina (aka Makhosini Henry Xaba).
Pretty impressive at the time and even more so now as the Makosini sound of mixed up House, R&B, soul, hip-hop reggae (later to be called 'Kwaito') is very dancefloor friendly now.
From the start of the gospel soul/go-go 'I'll Be Ready', the hip-house of 'Unchain My Heart' to the soul-pop-rap 'Shake Ya Down', all of the six tracks are worth a spin at the disco this festive season; especially 'Rhythm' for a bit ot Ten City fandom.
This is Heels & Souls' tenth release and they've already got Mr. Scruff as a fan (yes, he of 'Ninja Tuna' - see review HERE) as they continue to dig deep for "cherished records" from around the world to licence, remaster and reissue.
This ain't just a token, 'Hot Slot Machine' is for DJ coinage on the one armed bandits for 3 cherries in a row; make that a 'Big 6'.
