Hotmood - Let’s Ride

Two very fine laidback summer grooves here from Mexican nu-disco producer Hotmood, both of which can be filed under funk or disco as you see fit. The all-instrumental ‘Let’s Ride’ is a lolloping slo-mo chugger that packs some serious weight in the bottom end and sports a curiously squelchy aquatic-sounding bassline, the latter augmented by guitar chops, mournful horns and some sprightly piano sprinkles. The accompanying ‘My Disco Collection’ is a little more upbeat, and features a spoken vocal that sounds like it was recorded at a recent meeting of Cratediggers Anonymous! For maximum impact, just add sunshine.
