Scottish music producer Beskar made our song of the week feature in June with drum n bass doubleA The Prophecy, featuring Devizes vocalist Chrissy Chapman, aka Huntr/s, and they’ve returned today with another rolling tune on Grand Theft Audio, which even if you’re not into drum n bass you’ll recognise……
They’ve taken Ella Fitzgerald’s Fever to techstep heights, which is an interesting approach, if I’d suggested the more ambient subgenre “intelligent” drum n bass would I be showing my age?! At least this is contemporary and danceable, forget my blissful reminisces of the Logical Progressions of LTJ Bukem, for when Roni Size did break new foundations I was still at it, and this is equally as beguiling.
But if, as a hardcore junglist, you assume queen of jazz Ella Fitzgerald wasn’t bad e-nuff fo’ a drum n bass rework, you should take note, she escaped to Harlem from an abusive father and skipped school to run for the mafia, and serve as a police lookout at a local brothel. She went from orphanage to state reformatory, and it was only her voice which got her through, as the New York jazz clubs were dubious about her scruffy appearance. I’d wager that is more roughneck than you’ll ever be, blud!! Enjoy the tune, it’s a chicken dinner….
