Hot on the heels of the excellent Romero Bros release a few weeks ago, we now have a new title via the Echo Beats imprint from my brother, Si Cheeba. This one is titled “Barrio Strut” and features 2 other shorter tracks on the flip. Note that there are only 300 copies available and like the other releases, will sell out in double-quick time – so don’t hang around! For the full details, read on below…..
RELEASE DATE 12th October 2024 :
**Pre Orders now live as DIRECT and BANDCAMP**
The A side “El Barrio Strut” kicks off with a funky beat and a rolling piano groove before the Latino tinged brass and a hammond section – evoking the gritty streets of Spanish Harlem for four minutes of dancefloor action.
On the flip “Bass By Dope Demand” does what it says on the tin – with a dirty bass loop beat into some filthy fuzz psyche action. Whilst “Stepper’s Delight” is a building break beat into punchy brass styles.
These will be selling directly and on Bandcamp at £16.00 which includes an extra pound for the ASHLEY BEEDLE FUNDRAISER which will be matched by the label – so that £2.00 from each release will go to the fund.
As soon as the fundraiser was announced I approached Ashley’s wife Jo Wallace about this idea for the next release – to get their blessing. When the details were confirmed, Ashley pointed out the sheer coincidence of the title – as he had produced a track as Black Science Orchestra, with the title “El Barrio”, 30 years ago!
As usual, please contact me with any queries or further details.
