“ A brassy and beat-filled mix. ”
featuring Life is a Grimm Tale (Sometimes) by Tankus the Henge
This recipe is a mix of upbeat and bluesy jams with a liberal dash of British ska and just the lightest touch of soulful mo-town, blended together to create a little something to give you energy and a great vibe.
Take it with you to a festive meet up of old faces, blast it loud at home or just allow it to wash over you while your skin soaks up the rays of summer.
Tankus the Henge, Cut Capers and Popes of Chilli Town are big in the England festival circuits and a great bunch to explore for more electro-swing and punk ska. If you enjoyed the all-American blue grass and electronic sections, I would recommend digging deeper into Dirtwire and Moontricks. Special shout out to Thomas Vent, a DJ with a fantastic taste for Glitchy Blues and worth a dig if you want to spice up a party.
Get ready for "Old Nicks Extra Strong Moonface."
