Kinky Movement – Nervous EP

You know what one of the worst things about doing a blog like this is? It's not all the hours it takes up, or the fact you don't get paid for it… it's that you feel obliged to affect some kind of cool, objective detachment, when sometimes you just want to shout "This is brilliant, listen to this!" like an over-excited 16-year-old.

Like now.

Kinky Movement have been stalwarts of the UK's deep house/free party scene for years, and it shows. Nervous is a classy soul-tinged houser with plenty of that trademark East Midlands bump, while Rare Function leans a little further towards disco/funk territories. Both are plenty dippable, but the real gem here is Can't Hold Me Down.

Deep and funky with that little added garage groove in the finest DiY/Drop Music tradition, the lyric I guess is meant to be about positivity and such… but it could equally refer to the fact that I can't really see any true househead sitting quietly while this was playing. I certainly couldn't today at the day job, when I had it in my headphones – I was bouncing around in my seat like a loon. It's the kind of record, in fact – whether in Original or slightly beefier Sean Dizzyfunk Remix form – that makes me just want to shout "This is brilliant, listen to this!" like an over-excited 16-year-old.

You know what the best thing about doing a blog like this is? You get sent records like this one. Absolutely crucial.

Out: This week

About: This comes Sean's own Dizzy Funk Music – it is, in fact, only their second release. You can find them on Soundcloud and Facebook, naturally.
