Groove Galaxi is back from outer space
"Back In The U.S.S.R." - EP
out on 6th of November
"Think The Beatles meet Ramsey Lewis in a spaced out Reggae jam - wicked selection! One for the heads and the body. Rewind selector and come again!"
Mojo Club / Oliver Korthals
Four endless years Groove Galaxi have spent on a mission into infinite space. The band which travelled the globe with it's typical vision of dancefloor jazz as the live act of the legendary Mojo Club is now back from outer space. They have landed in the USSR - and they've brought the Beatles with them. The cool and sleazy reduction of "Back In The USSR" could aswell honour “King Tubby”. Submerge into synths and delays, feel the irony and the witty way of playing!
"On The Couch" follows a similar path, the trumpet squeeks and bubbles, the organ roars and wobbles, the drums stumble and yet keep the music together, clever and refreshingly different, maybe the best songs of the band from Hamburg ever...
On top of that you get a remix of another part of the family: Energie Du Verre spins the USSR through a wormhole, the result is a slick up tempo monster dub version for the Headz. With an eyewinking offsideness that would make “Fat Freddies Drop” happy!
