Rahaan flips the script here with ‘Secondo Coro Della Lavendie’, a propulsive update of Roberto Di Simone’s 1976 modern opera piece of the same name. Over the years it’s become a cult club hit in Chicago, Detroit and Montreal and found it’s way into the record bags of the likes of Brennan Green. The title translates as ‘The Song Of The Working Girls’ and it sounds like it, a hipshakin’, Afro-delic chant married to a relentless b-line and wired Chi-Town electronics. On the flip-side comes DJ Darryn Jones, yet another Chicago native with a bottomless record collection and the production chops to know what to do with it. ‘Mouth Passion’ weaves elements of The Flirt’s ‘Passion’ in and out of another ruff track of rumbling percussion,raw bass and spooky sound effects and comes out right on top, transporting you down into a darkened basement with your eyes closed and your disco fist in the air![info from wa]
