Its my obligatory once-a-month post big-upping Providence’s nastiest freak fest. And by freak fest I mean Providence Is Burning, the wonderful celebration of left-of-center dance music that Micah Jackson and Certified Bananas host mostly on last Saturdays. We missed a month in honor of baby Jesus’ b-day, so this month we decided to forgo a special guest in favor of a big funkin’ shake down. Certified Max on the solo tip and the MJ playin’ all the new jammers. I think since I recently came upon a surfeit of bootyful bouncers from the Southern Fried Label that I’ll post one of those. I first heard the original “Release The Pressure” on Fatboy Slim’s Bondi Beach Mix from New Year’s Eve 2006. It features the untouchable Rosie Gaines on vocals and if I’m not mistaken, its probably Fatboy Norman on the production tip. That’s the beauty of having your own label; you can always release an odd-ball tune under a pseudonym without apologizing if it sucks. This remix, aptly named for its wicked use of Prince’s Controversy motif, is a right floor filler. Listen for the clean guitars, acid bass and punching kick drum, then lose your shit and pump your fist.
