Gritty Northerners, Smoove & Turrell release their "credit crunch" stepper and third single, "Beggarman", lifted from their acclaimed debut album, "Antique Soul". With some incredibly funky and feelgood mixes from Crazy P, Basement Freaks and Smoove himself, "Beggarman"s uplifting call to party has never been more relevant. Already notching up plays with Radio 6"s Craig Charles, and starting to pick up plays for the band´s first video, "Beggarman", Smoove & Turrell´s retro right-now energy is infectious. Beggarman"s original story-telling 60s soul-talking vibe kicks back with some great horns and "yeah yeah" refrains. Crazy P turn up the wah wah power with a shimmering 70´s influenced ride that strips back the vocals and uses "give me something" to create a stone-cold groove workout, complete with 80s disco keys, perucssion and dubby fx. Smoove´s Remix goes back to early sampling days with its funky melange of breaks, beats and a big chorus that lifts into a really swinging set. Rounding things off the Basement Freaks keep the phat funk flowing with their rippling jam.
