Since Dego and Lordamercy (AKA former Bugz In The Attic and Hoomecookin’ member Matt Lord) are old pals, it’s little surprise to find them joining forces for a tasty 12″ on 2000 Black. They begin with the samba-soaked summer sunshine of “Green Woods”, where Kaidi Tatham style jazz-funk synth lines and rich boogie bass ride a shuffling, Brazilian style groove. Speaking of boogie, the duo pay a heartfelt tribute to the early ’80s style on “What Does It Take To Come In First”, which is built around Herbie Hancock style keys and a righteous slap bass workout. The slightly more broken but no less “live” sounding “Can’t Remember But I Know” completes a superb EP.
