Latest release
SASKWATCH "I Get Lonely / Your Love (Brain Children remix)"Saskwatch are taking giant steps now. Forging ahead into a brave new world, their new single has been recorded by Mikey Young (from Eddy Current Supression Ring) and he gives it a tougher sound yet on the vinyl recording (as opposed to the what you'll hear through computers) it is still swimming in big fat bass. The track I Get Lonely is a rolling funk anthem which results in Nkechi dancing and making you get down as well. Hand claps can sound all the way through. All the band get to star in this, with the horns out front and guitar driving it, but yet again its Nkechi who you have to hear. She is getting better with each release. Penned by Liam McGorry he is now known as Melbourne's Quincy Jones. The flip has Saskwatch walking in new territory with an electronic remix by Mikey Young (and Max Crumbs) who form Brain Children. It sounds haunting and spooky yet retains the soul of the song, as they flip octaves on Nkechi's voice. SOUL OF MELBOURNE: OUT NOW!
A diverse selection of Funk, Neo Soul, Northern, Afro and more. 18 hand-picked tunes (inc. 4 previously-unreleased exclusives) from the cream of the Melbourne soul scene. Featuring THE BAMBOOS, SASKWATCH, THE CACTUS CHANNEL, KYLIE AULDIST, ELECTRIC EMPIRE, CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES, HIATUS KAIYOTE & more. Compiled by Chris Gill (Northside Records) and Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos), this is the first compilation to showcase and expose Melbourne’s thriving modern Soul music scene. 18 TRACK CD & 12 TRACK VINYL (NR002CD / NR002LP) SASKWATCH: LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND – OUT NOW
This week marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and your record store / record label. SASKWATCH "Leave It All Behind", is the first album released on Northside Records.
