As the parentheses part of the title implies, Southside Sound Surgeons’ Save Me (Do it Now) is not a cover of Aretha’s funky soul banger but entirely separate track. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a massive floor-filling gospel-soul banger though. Indeed this is a sweat-drenched, palms-raised-to-heaven beast that bears more similarity to the output of peak period Fatboy Slim than the Queen of Soul’s Atlantic Records era. What to put on the flipside though? Maybe the dubby atmospherics of Impulses that swiftly goes double-time on the drums providing some early-doors action for punters eager to get their groove on. Yep, that should do it!
