By popular demand, we are putting these tunes on 45. Truth & Soul is proud to present another stellar set of covers from El Michels Affair. This time EMA have paid tribute to one of the greatest American composers of the 20th century, Isaac Hayes, a.k.a The Black Moses.
Side A is re-interpolation of Run Fay Run, the chase theme from Isaac Hayes' soundtrack Tough Guys. Instead of just covering it outright, EMA put an afro beat spin on the song by changing the arrangement, speeding it up considerably, adding percussion and Fela-esque horns. This is a DJ sureshot.
The flip side, Hung Up On My Baby, is also from the tough guys soundtrack. Most people recognize the song from it's super catchy guitar melody that gets associated with the Geto Boys song, "My Mind is Playing Tricks On Me". EMA took only the guitar melody and turned the rest of the backing music into a rocksteady/dub groove. This was meant to be on 45, and now it is.Credits fright">
