Next in line is London’s Mankind. Dropping a baggy, tripped out rework of Alexander O’neils club hit “Criticize” . Sounding like Maurice Fulton and Toby Tobias having a fight in an airport with it’s nasty bassline, delayed drums and jet engine build ups, “Marimba on Toast” is sure to make any party lift off into the atmosphere. Finally we have an exciting collaboration between Pete Herbert and Melbourne’s Golden Fleece who simultaneously show their love for belgium beer and the cosmos with ‘Inter Stella’. Coming on strong like an impatient Bootsy Collins with it’s insistent bass line, funky stuttering guitar licks and Hi energy synths…. this funk hammer is aimed straight at the backside and doesn’t let go the whole way through. It’s bright perky sound and solid beats are a guaranteed party popper.
