Get Loose – who can resist such an exhortation coming as it does from Bristol-based producer X-Ray Ted with emcees Dr Syntax and Professor Elemental in tow. Yes, this will be the 45 single version of one of the funkier cuts off Ted’s remarkably funky debut LP of last year, Moving On. The beat features Ted’s distinctive rebooting of golden era funk, bass and horns while Syntax and the Prof. give it large in strict party mode. Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking love it! If only there were an instrumental too! Or maybe an acapella! No – wait…both! No – wait…and a DJ scratch tool! They haven’t gone and put all those on the vinyl version as well have they? They have! Blimey.
