Kon & The Gang At Juno Download

Review: Hot off the back of being hailed the "edit king of 2012" by Gilles Peterson and dropping THAT Gold Fingers release, Kon steps back into Basic Fingers mode to deliver two more sublime disco boogie cuts for the more funk friendly floor. "Get It Together" has summer written all over it, burning into action with a killer horn loop before the bass kicks and the track heads for the stars. Kon demonstrates his skill and understanding of structure throughout, dropping the groove to a lull before building it right back up throughout, and the sweetly soulful vocals have that eminently sing-along quality. The tempo drops to a low slung bump on the flip as Leroy Burgess gets expanded with equal aplomb on the seemingly infinte "Strong Love (Everlasting)".

Review: More commonly known for his dusty fingered crate digging endeavours alongside Amir, Boston's Kon dips his toes into the world of glistening disco danceteria for the always stellar HOT Gold label. Whilst the world needs another revision of Michael Jackson like it needs another series of Big Brother, there is an undeniable class to "Sunlight" which lifts a mere titular smidgen of the departed King Of Pop's vocal turn from "Rock With You". Placing it amidst a live instrument mid tempo crunch filled with classic disco flourishes such as tight bass guitar and swirling keys, it makes for another HOT Gold hit. Up next, there's a slinky dub version where you can appreciate the input of some of the other artists involved, such as Tom "Disco" Noble on guitar!
