Seelenluft - Manila Video
Seelenluft’s
massive playground hip-house disco mash up, MANILA, has landed
featuring the super surreal vocal talents of Compton’s very own
12-year-old rapper Michael Smith. The sheer craziness of this kids
lyrics is brilliant, sitting ever so nicely off key and awkwardly
over Seelenluft’s bass heavy tweaks and bleeps.
Whilst on da streets of Compton, Seelenluft aka eccentric Swiss
musician BEAT SOLER bumped into Smith. Michael
Smith raps like a kid on a flashback with a Saturday night mash up
mentality, only the aeroplane is going down.
MANILA caused a storm when it was released on import last year. Now
given a full UK release through London’s finest, Back Yard
Recordings, it’s been lined up with some splendid mixes.
Ewan Pearson is on the party bus and he’s off to funk town. Spaced
out bleeps sit pretty over a thumping kick drum and lashings of low
end creating the catchiest tune of the year. Zongamin hit you with
an Acid-funk slap-bass backdrop whilst Smiths lyrics shimmy through
Hammond chords.
Originally found on the import Headman’s mix rumbles on. The bass
wiggles and muscles its way in with the tweaked top end sounding
superb. Cicada’s proggy mash up thumper, filters vocals and bends
bleeps whilst keeping the funk firmly fixed, lovely.
Already a favourite with the underground scene and now getting
support from Giles Peterson, Pete Tong (Essential Tune) and Trevor
Jackson, MANILA looks set to steel the show. Look out.
The quality isn't astounding, it has been sacrificed in favour of a
smaller files
optimised for dial up.
