Analog Players Society - Looking For A New Love - 7" Vinyl

This is jazz with a heavy dose of skank. Just as American popular music of the time influenced Jamaican ska of the mid-to-late 60's, APS pays homage to the tradition by reviving an 80's pop, smash hit, Jody Watley's "Looking For a New Love". Made in the style of late 60's ska mixed with late 70's dub technology all highly crafted for the modern DJ.

4 minutes turned into an unforgettable experience whether on the dancefloor or in your earbuds. "Looking for a New Love" is an instrumental version of the big hit and as expected, APS takes big liberties with this one. Ethan White (Tortured Soul) riffs effortlessly on the verse we all know and love, while JKriv (Escort, RazorNTape) skillfully reinterprets the bassline with an irresistible funk. Jonathan Powell, who has been cutting with Eddie Palmieri's big band brings the tune to a fever pitch with the chops of a seasoned Salsa virtuoso, whilst never losing the relentless groove.

Side B is a stripped down, dirty, bass heavy, live, analog dub. A sweaty, up close and personal dub that is just what the DJ ordered. You can literally hear the wheels of the tape delay spinning and almost smell the vacuum tubes sizzling.
