Curitiba Strut / Monophonics / Hanging On

Ikeb's newest A-Side, "Curitiba Strut," delves deep into disco, with four minutes of musical fire. Driven by the deep-pocketed pulse of it's four-man rhythm section (Barnaby Alter, drums; Dave Bourla, percussion; Vince Chiarito, bass; Robin Schmidt, guitar) and one of the tightest horn trios on the East Coast (Mike Buckley, winds; Jason Colby, trumpet; Nadav Nirenberg, trombone), Curitiba takes flight. Adding in special guest Kelly Finnigan of the Monophonics on synth, this is a can't-miss for DJs and dancers alike! Monophonics B Side "Hanging On" is what happens when California Psychedelic Pop meets Detroit Soul. Heavy Vocals and Horns lead the way over a steady groove of Drums, Fuzz Bass, transistor Organ and a whirling wave of 6 & 12 String guitars. Picked from their 2015 psych-soul gem 'Sound of Sinning', this California flip is a perfect Northern Soul answer for DJ's and to balance such a heavy Afrofunk Instrumental on the A Side from one of Brooklyn's finest bands!
