about
Following the lush listening LP outing by KAMM, the EG team is back in fine floor- rocking form, this time with both label operatives on the dials as Rodney joins Dave Aju for his debut co-production. And what a debut it is: Highly-potent, raw, swinging house music of the highest order, complete with knocking 909 kicks, thick slapping snares, and a hypnotic melodic call-and-response tonal section that keeps things properly lifted and moving throughout.
The vox evoke label boss Aju’s earlier catalog work and West Coast hip-hop roots, spitting fire spoken word lines calling out various questionable corners of the dance music scene and humanity on the whole. A bold light-shining display during notably dark times, defending the once-sacred underground dance space against runaway trends of ego-driven greed, online image over actual skill sets, and the beyond low-ball barrier of entry into the arena. But by the time the soulful chorus lines hit and rise us up and onward toward the blissful musical finish, it is clear that this is in fact a unifying floor anthem and that indeed despite our differences amidst disheartening global chaos, at least “We Still Dancin".
As always with the seasoned DJ-focussed three-piece Elbow Grease EP offerings, here we have the full A-side OG Vocal Mix cut at a crispy and tight 45rpm, a deliciously stripped and leveled-up EG Dub Mix on the B1, and finally the uplifting B2 Vibe Mix which doubles-down as half ambient instrumental builder and essential acapella.
lyrics
If you think it's all to get high, and the escape is the only prize
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you never been called a slur, let alone from both sides of the curb
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you ivy league mba, but thought it'd be cool to be a DJ
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you across the pond far from the ori-jon, yet act like you the don
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
Dancin, Dancin... We Still Dancin
If you phake & phoney with them smiles, that we can smell you out for miles,
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you feel lineups should be based on anything but skills & taste
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you lyin about your past, know you didn’t grow up hearing that
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you think it's all about the cash or that blind ass fame & flash
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
If you a young upcoming DJ who thinks you paved your own damn way
We dancin for different reasons...
We dancin for different reasons...
Dancin, Dancin... We Still Dancin

Honest take: the Ron Trent rework alone is worth the price of the whole LP, most of which consists of pleasant but not particularly memorable versions. I know this album has been well received, though, so I'll happily accept I may be just the wrong minority. KenO

What can I say? I love a good break beat to syncopate over a 4/4, and that lung collapsing bass! The way Overmono puts it all together here few have done as well. sergentor
