Broken Flavour

Following on from the pair’s first single,Full Moon, which received strong support from both Gilles Peterson and Huey Morgan on BBC 6 Music, and the subsequent remix from Dutch masters Detroit Swindle, Dele and Medlar returned with Gúdú Gúdú Kan -their own take on an Afro-disco stomper.The title refers to the role the snare drum plays and its relationship with Ìyá Ìlù kan, or the kick drum. It’s a simple but very effective metaphor for this unique musical collaboration where once again the pair forged a sound that’s all their own.

Taking things back to The Shrine by way of a little Bugz style bruk magic, Daz-I-Kue’s remix of Gúdú Gúdú Kan restructures the tune more in the style of a Fela classic, albeit with a broken flavour and layers upon layers of keys galore! In doing so, Daz creates what we think is a sure fire future club classic. Look out for the forthcoming full length version, alongside the extended Detroit Swindle remix of Full Moon on 12-inches of wax this November.
