Cool, funky bizz, similar to 'Rootdown' era Beastie Boys,... "Producer/drummer Teppo Mäkynen shares a new release with his celebrated alias The Stance Brothers. ‘On Top’ is a solid gold Stance groover coming in two versions on this 7” for We Jazz Records.
On side A, the track is led by guitar and flute (the latter courtesy of Diamond T aka Timo Lassy) and the flip introduces a soul jazz scorcher with organ & vibes. Both cuts are ripe and ready to be enjoyed by DJs and home listeners alike.
‘On Top’ follows the remarkably successful Stance sides ‘Resolution Blue’ and ‘Minor Minor’, all part of the ongoing 7" series by We Jazz Records. The 7" comes with old school heat-pressed labels and a stylish generic brown sleeve.
