A lovely funky disco track from The Jones Girls.
This is great as well
Got to love the prowling bass line.

Poetics
George the Poet; a Genuine favourite. He's a very talented and powerful 21 year old urban poet, whose style combines politically conscious lyrics with witty asides. Drawing influence from his upbringing on a North London council estate, his Ugandan roots and his current studies in Politics, Psychology and Sociology at Cambridge University, to treat us to a mix of observations that are both intelligent and thought provoking.
In this track he delivers a rather scathing and insightful look at the current state of rap, coupled with a sad ode to contemporary opinions on poetry. It is definitely worth a few listens. Not just for the lyrical content, as it is also a great and classic sounding instrumental track from The Herbaliser.
We had him appear at the Relaxation Generation festival earlier this year, where his powerful lyrics, juxtaposed between two bass heavy live acts, caused quite a stir with the crowd. Expect great things to come from him.

As serious Soul Funk groove on this one. With some appropriate lyrics for todays climate. Its the Valentine Brothers' 1982 track 'Money's Too Tight (To Mention)':
Simply Red covered this only 3 years later, using it as their debut single and did better in the charts with it. This original, as per usual with sampled classics, is better without a doubt.
