Grant Phabao and Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.11
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-01-24
Info :
To cool things down a little bit after this crazy series of Molesting Laura mixes, we've cooked a wicked set of soul and funk reggae covers, which got us digging quite deep into our Jamaican funk compilations. Besides some smokin' takes on The Temptations, Lalo Schifrin, Dusty Springfield, The Meters, Stevie Wonder, William DeVaughn, Billy Paul or Syl Johnson, you might enjoy Grant Phabao's superb reggae remix of Alice Russell's cover of The White Stripes. [Also, be aware that a 4-tracker of Grant Phabao reggae remixes of Alice Russell songs, 'Alice In Jamaica EP', is planned for 2008 on Brighton's Tru Thoughts label...]
