Shaken Not Stirred – Chewy’s Latest Is Licensed To Thrill!
Chewy is back and licensed to thrill with Bandolier 007. This new 4 track EP is already getting strong support from JUNO records. Check out the review:
Like fictional super-spy James Bond, Chewy Rubs prefers his re-edits “Shaken Not Stirred”. “Took My Love Away (Chewy Rubs Deep Disco Vox”), the opening cut from the Star Wars-loving producer’s latest EP, is every bit as potent and tipsy as a pint of Vodka Martini, with deliciously glassy-eyed female vocal snippets rising above a loopy disco-house groove. Similarly impressive is chugging, mind-altering throb-job “Love A Groove (Chewy Rubs Extend-it)”, where spacey synthesizer arpeggio lines and quirky vocal samples rise above a pulsating, mid-’80s dancefloor groove. Elsewhere, “Garage Disco III” is a electric piano-heavy revision of a mid-80s NYC house jam rearranged in cahoots with pal Moke, while “Rake The Moon (Chewy Rubs Space Dust Rub)” is a creepy, ever-growing, house-friendly tweak of a weirdo space disco workout.
Tracklisting
01. Take My Love (Chewy Rubs Deep Disco Vox)
Back to classic loop business with the progressive fink fuelled journey layered with a cheeky acapella from the archives whilst beats cuts and filters a depth to this peak time bumper.
02. Love a Groove (Chewy Rubs Extended-it)
Showcases some old school edit action with Chewy’s take on one of his all time 80’s house fades. He’s extended the parts, adored and layered with a classic sample looped with that familiar vocal ‘That’s Good’.
03. Garage Disco III
This is the third in the Garage Disco track in the series. It’s a piano filled new disco number with bumping rhythms and infectious bass line that builds to a main drop of harmonic keys from Moke giving it some old school house flavour fit for any discerning dance floor.
04. Rake The Moon (Chewy Rubs Space Dust Rub)
It’s only fitting that Bandolier on its double o seventh release should feature a Chewy dreamy orchestral cut and paste of a Bond classic! Layered percussion and harmonic keys work to deliver end of night set finisher with a shake and no stirred vibe.
