The opening track of the EP is by the Greek soul-funk masters, Gacho Rejected. As the title suggests, we arrive right on the scene the first few seconds into the track. We are invited to investigate what fusion is through the magnifying glass of the Gacho boys: movie-scene like brass sounds over a swingy piano loop which then fade into smooth latin tunes, only to come back completed with riffs that add the final touch to the ”smoky big city” atmosphere. I can’t decide what gives me more goosebumps: the great way that the track builds and unfolds or the genious use of samples that make a well-known atmosphere umpredictable and twisted.
