JAYL FUNK: Easy Summertime (Honkey Phonk 011)(2016)

Easy Summertime Jayl Funk[RATING: 5] I’m always partial to a well turned-out soul edit and here’s Jayl Funk with – Easy Summertime – a respectful reboot of Billy Stewart’s ’66 cover of a certain Gershwin-penned number of which there are allegedly 25 000 versions out there. This does, of course, mean that everyone knows the first line and this, along with Stewart’s distinctive Jackie Wilson-style ‘trilling’, and some extra breakbeat leverage mean that what we have here is known in the trade as a certified dancefloor bullet.
