Mr Mulatto and Frank Situation have a new album out that have got the excellent collection of best buds on it like Javonntte, Faze Action's Robin Lee and the voice of 'Hooked On Desire', Vanessa Jackson.
Let's get it straight from the off, there is no bad track on this album, the diversity is incredible so you're going to like some tracks more than others but when they add the talents of their co-op, it's dancin' all night long with this - it's as if they've 'Never Taken A Weekend Off': what a great title.
That said 'Bullit' is a high-speed jazz-funker for the flute gang that features Javonntte (last seen hanging out with Marcel Vogel, Toronto Hustle x Sean Roman and on Soul Of Hex's 'Constellation' EP (see review HERE) that's got bongos-a-plenty and high speed train synths. And then a total mood switch, we go gospel-soul with their mate, Andre Espeut (from 'Never Thought I'd Get Ya') and our mate from 'Downtown' (with Inkswel, see review HERE) with 'You Gotta Move' in a Prince-style before hitting the church with 'Pusherman' (nothing to do with the the Super Fly Curtis Mayfield).
But that gets lost with the unpromising title of 'Fairy Godmother' which funks up ya disco house with a contribution from Robin Lee (50% of Faze Action) with the swirling strings; one for fans of glitter.
And keep going to the end as 'Over & Over' gets piano housey disco with some Afro-balearics percussion and climaxing with 70s funk-boogie 'Rodborough Groove' (does sound a bit TV theme tune - but in a good saxy way).
These guys, Mr. Mulatto and Frank, love a remix so I suspect they'll be more to follow but like I say, this is such quality and wide variety, they're pushing you get it all on the dancefloor.
