Let there be house!
Soul Clap feat Nona Hendryx 'Shine (This Is It)' (Classic Music Company)
Fresh from their recent Fabric album, Soul Clap drop this vintage piece of house on the esteemed Classic Music Company imprint. Bona fide funk diva Nona from Labelle lends her voice to ‘Shine (This Is It)’, belting out a joyous vocal on top of tinkering pianos. It’s a convincing disco-house anthem, while the decision to get Hot Toddy on remix duties is equally inspired: he hands in two versions with hypnotic marimba rhythms setting it apart from the original. Scott Grooves is also on form with his remix, providing liquid-bass squelches.
