That snappy dresser Gator Boots is back in town, this time bringing Sol Power All-Stars in tow for a four tracker of unquestionable fire.

On the A, a deep, soulful house flip of an R&B classic as Sol Power All-Stars take on Brandy - Full Moon featuring keyboardist Will Rast, formerly of the Brooklyn-based legendary afrobeat band Antibalas and also of DC-based The Funk Ark. Will delivers warm chords and a blistering moog solo that works perfectly with the afro house production. Following that ‘Water Drip’ has a familiar sample, completely recontextualized into a midtempo acid-tinged chugger. Perfect for the heavy warm-ups or the late night dance floor freaks.

On the B side, no one is funkier than the J.B.s but the Sol Power All-Stars put their stamp on this groovy classic. Part bruk, part acid, all funk! And rounding it all off, a reggae disco Classique Peter Tosh - Buk in Hamm Palace gets the Sol Power treatment with added heft, percussion, and extended dub to the original. Start it from the top for the vocal or at the halfway point if you just want that deep dubby disco goodness.

“We’re going to Graceland! Soul Clap returns giving one of Paul Simon’s most beloved records in history that signature edit ‘tidal-wave of emotion’ touch that has taken so many other classics and brought them into new light for Today’s dance floor. The nostalgia is in full effect as this 1985 anthem takes the boys right back in their formative school years.”
“The Clap flips this Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo sample into a tribal house groover. Propelled by tube driven drum machines, cascading scales and melodies, Lady Smith’s rooted in the raw sounds of bygone synths nurtured back to life”
“Soul Clap breaks the main mix down to its bare essentials on this drum tool bringing the rhythms to the forefront highlighting the vocal chant that gives the original record its signature feeling” More

The latest edition of Gator Boots is a split 12” with edits that cut straight to the dancefloor.
