The (Soul Train) Line Forms Here – “Street Level”, from Galaxians, Bumps
Galaxians, ‘Street Level’ (Youth Club Sounds)
Hailing from Leeds, UK, Galaxians are Jed Skinner (synthesizers, programming) and Matt Woodward (acoustic drums, more programming), together with vocalist Emma Mason. They’ve been releasing records since 2012, and I feel a bit disappointed in myself, to be honest, to have only just discovered them, courtesy of storming new joint, “Street Level”.
Released as part of a collaboration between Leeds-based label, Youth Club Sounds, and promoters, Super Friendz, “Street Level” is a movin’, groovin’, burning 80s throwback r&b/electro-disco jam. Like a riposte to the classic D-Train track, “You’re the One for Me”, Mason roars the opposite while standing on the shoulders of greats like Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie (the group’s site also references Gwen Guthrie…we can dig it). Behind and all around her, a driving beat, slippery bass and squishy leads – the arrangement is fantastically dense. It’ll put a smile on your face after a hard day, even if you’re a weekend girl or guy (look it up, young’uns). Get up and dance…dance, I said.
“Street Level”, as well as other Galaxians cuts, can be found on the Super Friendz/Youth Club Sounds “Collaborationz” (so many zeds!) mixtape, which can listen to here and purchase on the Galaxians’ bandcamp page (where you can also check they’re upcoming live dates). Hail Galaxians on fbook and the twitt.
