Amazing new remix on Ramrock Red and The Oddball Creatives, the adjusted 'Adjust Like Dat' featuring Mike Keat, Jo Wallace is even more jazzy, funky, hip hop goodnes.  Craig Charles has a new favourite!



So you'll recall the original 'Adjust Like Dat' (see review HERE) as Joseph's tribute to his Dad, Francis Ukachukwu Malik, hence the tradition Nigerian dress in Igbo tribal colours.  How do you improve on that?  

Well, somehow they's gone crazy oddball NY, hip-hop jazzy with a clean and dirty vocal and dub instrumental - the keys are so Herbie fusion with a 70s Clavinet goove - ya'll remember 'My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style' (Dream Warriors): this is better!

Who knew the spirit of Fela lives just off the Easter Road in a proper Northern Soul Band that includes the Proclaimers' Steven Christie (electric piano), Daniel Walls (drums  and percussion), Colin Steele's award winning jazz trumpet and Darren Morris guesting on Fender bass and clavinet. DJ Nasty P provides the kuts with Jo Wallace on backing vocals and Cuban Brother, rappin' Mike Keat.

We've had previous 'variants' of 'My Whole World' (Joseph Malik with Kameelah Waheed with The Variant Issue Orchestra 'L'Opera Noir' Mixes - see review HERE) but there's the full 'Proxima Ebony Variant Issue' LP on its way.  It's going to be fantastic!  

PS. Don't forget the original - see review HERE.
