BARRY ASHWORTH & WILL HENSEL reignite their ‘RUMBLEFISH’ project along with MARTIN MY who joins them for their ‘EYES IN THE SKY’ release, their first on FUNCTIONAL RECORDS. Remixes come from MEDICINE 8, JERRY C4, POLAROIDS & SNAREOPHOBE. The inimitable vocals of ‘TK’ feature on this single as well as on the 1st single ‘Rumblefish’ released back in Feb. Barry & Will first put out an EP on Ugly Records a decade ago. Since then Barry has obviously been busy being a DUB PISTOL and WESTWAY RECORDS main man, leading the charge at clubs and festivals all around the world, while Will has been beavering away in west London studios under a variety of guises. Martin who has just joined ‘Rumblefish’ used to run 2 of Camden’s most respected record shops as well as producing as one half of MOVE YA & STEVE LAVERS. More recently you will find him producing as one half of DIRTY TRICKS. Dub Pistols was founded by Barry Ashworth. Guest songwriters and vocalists have included Rodney P and Terry Hall. To date, they have released three studio albums one of which was through Rob Da Banks Sunday Best label as well as contributing to numerous film soundtracks, including Blade II, Bad Company and Mystery Men. They have remixed tracks for the likes of Ian Brown, Limp Bizkit, The Crystal Method and Moby.

Latest Release on Barry Ashworths Westway Records

Sangers & Ra feat N’FA ‘Too Hot, Too High’ (Westway 035)

 

Remixes by Terry Hooligan & Filthy Rehab, Funkanomics and Keith Mackenzie

 

 

Australia’s finest, Sangers & Ra return to Westway for their second release after the last one, ‘Nasty’, crashed into the Beatport top ten. ‘Too Hot, Too High’ features N’FA of infamous hip-hop crew 1200 Techniques, and comes with some top-notch remixes too.

 

N’FA blazes hype over the raspy electronic bassline and bad-ass beats, giving shout-outs to Sangers & Ra and the Westway Records posse, b-boys, poppers and lockers, and anyone else who appreciates a rocking party. Just back from a European tour, Sangers & Ra are best known for their Breaks & Enter parties in Australia, but this release is certainly going to accelerate their international reputation immensely.

 

‘Too Hot, Too High’ comes with its own video, shot at the incredible KaZantip festival in the Ukraine a couple of months ago. See it here:

Terry Hooligan teams with Filthy Rehab for a filthy bass music re-rub of the track, tinged with elements of Major Lazer and hype electronics. US breakbeat stalwart Keith Mackenzie adds a bit of a ‘dirty Dutch’ topline and flittery synth to his reinterpretation, while the Funkanomics overhaul goes down a pounding electro-house route.

 

‘Too Hot, Too High’ gets a Beatport exclusive release on November 7^th, with a general release on all the other download sites a fortnight later (November 21^st). This is another great release from Westway – please let us know about any chart action, DJ plays or reviews. And it goes without saying – please do not share.
