Mucca Pazza Tube Sock Tango

Chicago's beloved bombastic 30-piece marching band, MUCCA PAZZA, gets tossed in the beat blender on this special 45 rpm 7-inch. Tracks from their latest full-length Safety Fifth on Electric Cowbell Records get the royal treatment by two of the most potent mixologists on the scene today. Brooklyn's GREENWOOD RHYTHM COALITION (NYC Trust) puts the original "Tube Sock Tango" flavor into their signature blender, adding a heavy dose of tropical-inspired percussion, bass, and lo-fi keyboard charm that sits perfectly alongside the deconstructed brass. And side B's "Boss Taurus" gets a groove-over from the UK's Stockportbred drummer, producer and DJ extraordinare JON KENNEDY (Tru Thoughts Recordings, UK-based Grand Central Records and U.S. based Organik Recordings). This remix was entirely unique in that it had over 20 tracks of brass! Jon Kennedy finds a hook, concentrates it and fattens the track out with a bodacious break and a propulsive bass line. No small feat when there are so many hooks to choose from. The result is a downtempo burner that finds the horn section sipping martinis between takes in the brass band lounge. And an extra bonus at the end of side B is 32-second drum corp cadence courtesy of Mucca Pazza's esteemed K12 percussion section! And the cherry on top is the beautiful full-color artwork by grammy-nominated KATHLEEN JUDGE.
