UK DJ producer Pat Bedeau reveals his first release for 2016 on his own Bedfunk label with his fantastic ‘The Fallen Heroes EP’ – a release that pays musical homage to the great Malcolm X and Dr Martin Luther King. With a topical theme calling for unity and freedom amongst all men running through the EP, ‘Brotherhood’ is deep hypnotic groove that features samples from Malcolm X’s speech from 1964 Oxford Debate. ‘Let Freedom Reign’ samples Dr Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech, which is laid over bubbling deep and infectious jazzy groove and teased with a dramatic breakdown. The release date for ‘The Fallen Heroes EP’ is actually set as March 26th, which is anniversary of when Dr Malcolm X and Dr Martin Luther King met for the first and only time in 1964.
