Party Peeeeople!
My partner-in-crime Jake Sanders and I have just dropped a 7” with the fine folks at Star Creature under the moniker KUATO (named after the psychic mutant leader from Total Recall).
For this release, we took on two covers:
Side A – “DJ’s Delight”
Originally by Ingram out of Camden, this track has long been a go-to in my DJ sets—a truly magnificent jam. The only reason we felt we could do it justice is because of the 7” format itself. The structure of the original 7” version is a bit unconventional, which gave us some room to reinterpret it while keeping its spirit intact.
Side B – “She’s A Go Getter”
Originally by The Fatback Band from New York City. If you’re trying to make funk or boogie, studying The Fatback Band is essential. Working on this track genuinely changed how Jake and I approach the genre. These guys are masters.
Part of why we chose this one: I’ve always loved this song, but the original mix can feel a bit flat and doesn’t always sit well in a set. So we took it as a challenge to beef it up and give it some new life on the dancefloor.
We’re also honored to feature Tim Tucker on vocals for both sides. Tim’s been deep in the game since the early days of boogie, and his experience shows. He brings a rich, authentic funk pedigree, with a long history of standout work and involvement in several modern boogie projects.
If you’re looking for a new heater for your next DJ gig, this might be exactly what you need.
