Wayne Goodlitt sets aside his Roska moniker and takes up his Bakongo alter-ego for a Bleep mix which injects a dark edge into the UK Funky sound that he has become synonymous with. Across the mix the listener is led through a whirlwind of tuned drums, throbbing low-end and booming bass drums. Drum-line percussion arrangements abound, often wedded to dembow or broken-beat kick patterns but sometimes left to run over four-to-the-floor stompers. In addition to tunes from Nightwave, T Williams and Karizma - the latter of who’s aptly-entitled shuffler ‘Strings Emotional’ closes out the mix - we are also treated to a glut of Bakongo-produced heat throughout. This one’s a power hour for sure.
