Sambuca (Smoove
Mix)
By
Whirlwind D
This one sneaked up on me almost under the radar but, after
getting the chance to review the Smoove Remix of Labels, with the 7” version as
the B-Side to Without Music (2021) and the full Extended Mix on the Libra album
(2023), how could I pass up the chance to do this one. Simple, I couldn’t…
Sambuca (Smoove Mix) is a strictly limited 7” release, that
is limited to just 100 copies, on B-Line recordings and is released today via
Whirlwind D’s Bandcamp page.
I don’t want to keep you waiting on this one so, lets just
get into it…
The funky beat immediately grabs your attention and those
horns on the bridge give this one the sort of infectious sound that you gets
you moving and puts a huge smile on your face and that vibe really fits so well
with Whirlwind D’s witty vocals. Now, if you have not heard this track before,
if not why not, it’s all about getting hyped up for those live shows, getting
rid of any anxious feelings with a little liquid courage. Anyone who has been
to Rope-A-Dope or certain live performances since the release of Libra, can
tell you that that Sambuca has featured; the firey liquid burns its way from
mouth to gut, giving the warmth and internal strength to perform with gusto and
engage the crowd throughout. But this track might be all about getting hyped
for the shows but, really sambuca is one of those drinks that you can just have
fun with, a bit like this track sees Whirlwind D having some fun with it.
What I love about this track and this remix is that Smoove
takes nothing away from the original, which was produced by Specific and had
cuts from Djar One, but he gives it a whole new spin, giving it a funky vibrant
club vibe that would not be out of place being thumped out a few notches above
ten at your BBQ, in your car, wherever suits you. This one is sure to have you
bouncing around every time you hear it. Just remember to drink responsibly and
don’t have a shot every time you hear the word sambuca, otherwise you are
likely only to get through one play of the track, Ha Ha…
This is a great addition to Whirlwind D’s catalog and a
truly blinding remix from Smoove who just has this uncanny knack of feeling a
track and knowing exactly how to elevate it and put the kind of spin on it that
takes it off in a whole new direction. Plus, it could not have been released at
a better time keeping those summer vibes going.
The wicked artwork for the Sambuca label comes from the creative talent of John 'Digital' Dyer.
Grab a vinyl why you can and get this one flowing through
your musical veins.
Huge thanks to my man Whirlwind D for giving me the chance
to bring this one to you.
See ya next time,
Steve.
