As usual, he&#8217;s taken a &#8220;no frills&#8221; approach, preferring to make the most of his source material rather than presenting listeners with cheap new beats or effects trickery. Opener &#8220;Street Player&#8221; provides a slightly pitched down and expertly re-arranged take on a well-known Chicago disco classic (yep, as sampled by Kenny Dope all those years ago), while &#8220;Steps In The Dark&#8221; is an effortlessly sweet and groovy disco-soul groover. On the flip you&#8217;ll find &#8220;Never&#8221;, a subtle house shuffler that makes merry with an old school vocal and chunks of a Boz Scraggs favourite, and the sun-kissed, horn-heavy hip-hop-goes-jazz funk hustle of &#8220;Let Me Ride&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Label: Owl<br \/>\nFormat: 12&#8243;<br \/>\nCat: OWL 002<br \/>\nReleased: 11 Jan 17<br \/>\nGenre: Disco\/Nu-Disco<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.juno.co.uk\/products\/the-owl-gangsta-funk\/634145-01\/?ref=motionfm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>BUY from JUNO Records<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot on the heels of his sold-out debut 12&#8243;, Feel Good, comes a second serving of tried-and-tested re-edits from The Owl. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":13436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13435"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13435"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13435\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13437,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13435\/revisions\/13437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/motionfm.com\/wp2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
