Secret Squirrels #8 12”

The disco loving yet secretive Sciuridaens return with an eighth volume of finely teased productions primed for deployment on the discotheque. We are still none the wiser on who is behind the Secret Squirrel project despite some scurrilous rumours but it’s clear by now they have quite the knowledge of funk, boogie, Italo, acid, disco and vintage house.

Up top it’s a funk-flecked disco number that feels like the tempo has been nudged down slightly, adding a subtle druggy feel to those Philly strings. It’s good but Secret Squirrel really hit the spot with the think break-infused ’90s era filtered house burner that sits on the flip. Some vocal hook on this one.
