Just out, new instrumental single Amanecer from DC outfit Empresarios. That skippy little drum break and the Latin-style percussion both say ‘Wakey, wakey!’ while that somnolent bass and those washes of synth in the background both say, ‘It’s too early, ten more minutes, yeah?’ Entirely appropriate then for it to be called ‘sunrise’ in

ASTRONAUT JONES: Game Theory (2014)
Astronaut Jones has decided that what the world needs is more in the way of ‘jazz fusion’-flavoured breaks and moreover that he’s the man to provide it.

And said drop is indeed delivered but only after

Fans of Pincher’s original will still find that, “dem lyrics a chop like the sword of Zorro-oh” – but now mandem also work ‘im drum and ‘im
