"P'TAAH
12"
"The
Oldest Story" features the golden vocals of Terrence
Downs. Swag's warm vocal re-rub keep the vibes
soulful and moody with a hint of their signature digital edge.
Their dub mix is harder and to the point, keeping only snippets
of vocals as decoration to a bouncy, bass line driven DJ tool
that's just straight up rude.
On the flip Giant Step signings Jiva (working
as Tauriva) come up with a polished New York style house track
Loose and funky, deep and clubby it too showcases Down's vocals.
Tauriva includes Khari Simmons (also a member of India Arie's
rhythm section) and Karl Injex (of Straight No Chaser fame) who
worked along with Julius Speed on the P'taah album - which is
how this mix came to be.
