Review: GAMM pulled off a real coup in securing a double drop of edits from Istanbul's Onur Engin and we implore you head straight for the A Side brilliance of his Freddie Hubbard tweak. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of deep house history will immediately recognise the opening string flourishes of "Sunflower" - the basis to Pepe Bradock's timeless "Deep Burnt"! Engin's take on the Hubbard original remains faithful yet adds just the right amount of percussive deftness to give it some dancefloor feet. The flipside is dedicated to a delightful take on the mid seventies soul rarity "For Real" by Flowers which again provides ample evidence of Engin's intricate editing skills.
Headhunters - "God Made Me Funky" (Opolopo Tweak) (6:12)
Sylvia St James - "Motherland" (Opolopo Tweak) (6:24)
Review: The good folks at Gamm pop up with another of their irresistible slices of feel good funk. This one takes what some people would say is one of the most significant rare groove tracks ever in Headhunter's 'God Make Me Funky' and get Opolopo to tweak it with his usual sense of elan. The results are deadly, full of funky bass and sample course you will well recognise. On the B-side Opolopo draws out the grooves and goes for a soulful house roller that reworks Sylvia St. James's downtempo groover 'Motherland' to perfection.
