After releases on many renowned US house labels (King St, Jellybean, Maxi, Henry St, Yoshi Toshi, MAW), Henry Maldonado launches his own Speak imprint under one of his aliases. A not-that-common hybrid of old-school house and electronic jazz-funk, the Son Of Sound Disco mix of ‘Curious’ is warm, retro and loony enough to attract aficionados. On the flip Chicken Lips’ Steve Kotey delivers a laidback reinterpretation rich in live instrumentation (bass, guitars, drums); if organic funk à la Whomadewho (only less gritty) is your bag, this will give you full satisfaction.
