Sweet Street Soul sunshine vibes, Apiento leanings...
Manchester’s Balearic synth provocateur Ruf Dug teams upwith Private Joy for a sizzling slice of laidback street soul - ifthe streets were lined with palm trees, that is. Ruffy admits tonot having any recollection of making the beat, which addsto the sundrenched, daydream quality. Modulated padsevaporate in the heat haze, while a synth saxophone riffdances on the breeze, all setting the scene for a tropically-tinged marimba and a piano solo that respectfully nods toVladimir Cosma’s Sentimental Walk. When Gerd enquiredabout a possible vocal, Ruffy reached out to Private Joy, whosings like the fate of the track was entwined with her own,and it elevates the track to a whole other soulful level. In true‘90s tradition, Ruffy delivers an alternate reggae mix for theflip, putting an off-beat bump to the track, while theinstrumental versions shine a light on Ruffy’s pitch-perfectproduction, and provide plenty of ammunition for acapellasof all sorts.
