GAMM156 by Elado

While GAMM's hip-hop and R&B reworks are always a cut above those put out by the label's competitors, there's a strong argument to be made that the disco, soul and jazz-funk re-edits they release are even better. More evidence to back up this assertion can be found on this tidy two-track missive from label debutant Elado. On the A-side he gives his spin on a powerful, horn-and-synth-laden number from a rare Archie Dell LP, subtly making the drums heavier while retaining the original's gospel-influenced soaring soul feel. Arguably even better is 'Shake Your Body', a fine rearrangement of a little-known, Portuguese language cover version of the MJ's disco classic of the same name.

Elado spent thirty years collecting records. He became popular among top selectors in 2020 after his first release on Razor-N-Tape. his distinct fusion of obscure world sounds, disco & electronics got him the support of the scene's top players. he went on to release a string of 12 vinyl records on top labels and now he is launching his own label "Big Baba Records"
