Release Date: 15th July 2013
You know that feeling when you
decide to move clubs at about 2.00am and the combination of fresh air and one
too many shots of Jack Daniels means that when you get to the new place you
feel about 1.5 seconds out of step with the rest of the world? That moment
when you realise that you're totally
dancing to the music but that the music is not keeping time with you? Those
times when you'd be blissfully happy if it weren't for the fact that everyone
was talking backwards and everything feels approximately 30 cm further away
than it should be? Well now those moments have a sountrack and it is the
gloriously juddery and funkily stuttering 'Platoon' by Jungle. Chess Club
Records, those reliable beasts, have unearthed another gem of a tune with
understated but soulful vocals and a melody that sounds like it was created by
having George Clinton and Fatboy Slim repeatedly dragged back and forth over a cattle grid. This
is pretty much the only tune in the world that could keep time with your
staggering version of yourself and help you to fall back in line with the rest
of the world - it might just save your life as well as your night. Now it's not
out for a while, I realise that, but there is a reason for that - they are only
releasing 500 copies of this little beast. So my advice would be to get
yourself over to the website below and pre-order a copy.
