Rising only one thing on my mind
(there’s just one thing on my mind I hope you ready)
Crazy longing as the time goes by
(soon as you get my reply just hit me up)
Just hit me up cuz it’s time
I need somebody to release me
I’m over trynna hold it inside
I need your body cuz I’m fiending
I’ll see you after midnight
You know it always feels right with you
I miss you in the daylight
Can’t wait to see the sun rise with you
Baby always make me feel so right
(you make me feel so right oh baby baby)
Lonely, boy I need you by my side
(I need you here by my side)
I spend my day on the grind
I need somebody to release me
Don’t keep me waiting all night
I need you here cuz I’m ready
I’ll see you after midnight
You know it always feels right with you
I miss you in the daylight
Can’t wait to see the sun rise with you
Just open the door it’s time we play my game
How close can we get before you go insane
I just don’t think you even understand
Boy when I get ya you gon say my name
You say my name
We play my game
No time to waste
Let's light this flame
I’ll see you after midnight
You know it always feels right with you
I miss you in the daylight
Can’t wait to see the sun rise with you
Second volume in the series following the first episode published over a year ago, Boogie Angst’s fresh new VA ‘Boogie Beats Vol.2’ gathers four hot talents from various backgrounds and latitudes to present and extrapolate their own definition of a funky groove.
First up on heavy floor duty, Brighton’s Titeknots flies us to an all-out, slap-bass & piano-splattered vocal disco haven, chock-a-block with playful afternoon vibes and coastal feels. Having earnt himself accolades from some of the tightest players in the game, from Bonobo (‘Buzzard Walk’ made it on his Fabric mix) to Gilles Peterson, via Dimitri From Paris and Nightmares On Wax, Titeknots once again proves the breadth of his talents when it comes to weaving well-oiled filtered house engineering with a touch of cheeky retro-disco glam.
Adeline, a multi-talented French-Caribbean artist and former lead singer of Brooklyn Nu-Disco band Escort, follows on with ‘After Midnight’, as revised for extended dancefloor use by chief trio, Kraak & Smaak. The result is a bass-heavy nu-disco/house roller taking us on a fun jaunt across widescreen seaside vistas and endless desert scapes. An invitation to cast off and dream your way into the world unreservedly, Adeline’s song
carries a message of love that resonates with an even deeper echo in these moments of uncertainty.
Pushing further in the direction of spirited post-balearic solace, UK-based DJ and producer Get To Know (previously heard on Kitsuné, Sweat It Out and more) delivers a true masterclass in rhythmic prestidigitation with ‘Love Taught Me', exploring the widest sonic palette to shape up a finely acidulous, Afrobeat-infused, dream-funk number of the finest standard.
Hailing from the colder surroundings of the Volga River, Anton Bogomolov alias Scruscru rounds off the package with a deliciously wonky, revved-up edit of an old gem, ’S For Sexy’, making the most of its brass-laden orchestration, rousing maracas and laser-blaster samples that sound as if dug up from an old Cerrone platter and integrated within their new environment with fun-loving care and attention to detail. Blast away and give in to the power of the ‘Boogie Beats' second iteration.
