Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band is back with another crushing two-sider that is guaranteed to set dancefloors on fire and get heads nodding around the globe.
Side A is BRSB’s take on Grace Jones’ nightclub classic My Jamaican Guy. They take the tune to a new height from the first beat, laying down an infectious groove that will get people out of their seats immediately. Heavy duty drums and bass shake the speakers through the intro then the pans reveal what they are covering as they play the instantly recognizable top line of the original.
BRSB has received a lot of praise for their choices of covers. Occasionally reworking hits, but most notably pulling the album cut gems from artists typically more championed by the underground. Well...here they go again, covering Erykah Badu’s homage to the late great J Dilla The Healer. From the instant this comes on, necks will be snapping, and faces will scrunch up as they take the original beat produced by Madlib and give it a run for its money.
