The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band – Dirt Off Your Shoulder / I Need Somebody To Love Tonight

Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, the kings of "wait, what is this!!!" are back with another two-sider that has a little something for everyone. Both of these songs are pulled from their forthcoming full length album Expansions. The A side is a gritty, gully, and neck snapping cover of the Timbaland produced Jay-Z club hit "Dirt Off Your Shoulder". The signature crushing Bacao drums start the show and the moment they start playing the top line on the steel pans all bets are off. They push the tune to new heights and places adding brass arrangements and working around the original riff never losing the groove. The way they walk the line between the original and making it their own will woo Hip Hop heads and Funk enthusiasts alike. The B side finds BRSB taking it straight to the discoteque and ushering everyone to the floor as they cover Sylvester's underground classic "I Need Somebody To Love Tonight". While Bacao have laid down a few four on the floor numbers on previous albums this is the first one making its way to a 7" and we are sure it will get their music into a new sector of DJs playboxes.
