Zap Mama Show Me The Way
- Words: Derek Grey
- Label: Luaka Bop-Giant Step
- XLR8R Rating: /10
Pairing the hottest style of the moment (broken beat/soul vocal hybrids) with two dope remixers (London‘s Seiji and Toronto‘s Moonstarr) you might as well just click juno.co.uk now and transport these to your turntables. Ivana Santilli‘s voice flutters sweetly like Jill Scott or Alicia Keys while Moonstarr takes original production from Dego and Kaidi and lets fly an evolving array of diverse drum skins. You‘ll need a game of Twister to figure how to dance to it. Meanwhile, Seiji takes Zap Mama‘s rejoicings to a street dance soundsystem via his fat jump-up riddim, which will command every hip bone in sight.
