The gentlemen of Estate are tightening their elastic waistbands for some intense grooves on their new single, which they’re releasing as a 5-song EP’
Slipstream features three mixes of the title track, all of which are heavily influenced by disco because, well, they are disco. The original mix will definitely move you to get involved in a line dance, while the Diry McKenzie Flute Stream Remix will make you want to spruce up your suits and dance (to this). There’s even a flute solo, which I loved. The DCUP sounds like something straight off of Prince’s self titled second album mixed in with the vocal harmonies from S.O.S. Band’s “Take Your Time (Do It Right)”, and bra, dis bugga is fierce.
The virtual “other side” of the single features two mixes of “Pressure’s On”, with the musical sensibilities sounding a bit like Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’s “The Message”, so now Estate have positioned themseives at 1982. The more abrasive Sloslylove Remix is European in nature, or at least it sounds a bit left of center, which I liked, as if someone in London said “we need this song to be a bit more intense”. Then someone would say “oh, these guys ripped off those producers from Boston, that’s why it sounds so good. Keep on arguing, which will stop you from dancing to these two groovers.
