Sounds For Sunday: WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!


Something a bit more up to date than usual; this is only 10 years old.

Blimey, 10 years old already! I've got Basement Jaxx today with the absolutely amazing Red Alert which I've had on replay all week. A prime slice of punk funk that just grooves all the way from start to finish, with an outstanding vocal performance and so many things going on that the track feels like it's on the verge of explosion at any moment.

Basement Jaxx - Red Alert

And as an extra, something that might sound a bit familiar to those of you who know the track:

The Locksmith album "Unlock The Funk" was HOT back in 1980. So many great grooves.
