Natural Impulse-We're Gonna Make It Through

Release Date: Monday December 13th 2010

After a two year absence from the previous release from Natural Impulse “She Went Away” they eventually return with two previously unissued tracks.

The A-side is a great uptempo 70’s dancer “We’re Gonna Make It Through”. While the b-side features the more funk orientated “Make It Or Break It” which is an edited version of the original six minute long studio take.

The story behind the discovery of these two tracks is:

Jesus (Jess) Gonzales the bass guitarist with Natural Impulse while sorting out some items to donate to a local charity came across an old cassette player. He discovered that it still contained a cassette which contained three forgotten unissued tracks that had been laid down during the 70’s only to have lain gathering dust for the last 32 years. Jess contacted Rick Ramos who forwarded a soundbite of each of the tracks to Soul Junction Records who have pressed them up & put them out on December 13th.

There is a clip below of them performing the track live.

Newcastle Party Saturday 27th March

I will be a guest DJ at a party in Newcastle at the end of the month. Come down if you are in town that night.

"A Little Lost returns for its fourth outing at the Star & Shadow – this time as part of the Northern Lights Film Festival and with special guest, DJ P. Skillz - for another one of its parties inspired by New York disco in its many different forms, from the dreamiest New York disco to the danciest bass lines, including David Mancuso, Larry Levan, ESG, Arthur Russell, Mutant Disco, Post Punk and much more…

This time we’ll be starting right after Maximo Park perform a live score for the silent classic The Man Who Laughs by Paul Leni, as the official after party for the Northern Lights Film Festival, and going on till 4am, so be sure to stick around for a wind down. Or, if you don’t fancy the film you can just come to the party

We are also pleased to welcome back Jack and Jon (Lovebug, Glasgow) and Tashless Pat (Road to Rimini) for another night of a little lost, who along with residents Oscar and Kelly will be playing some disco delights for your ears and feet."

Zernell sent me the Phoenix edit featured on volume 1 about a year & a half ago and I've played the shit out of it. Pick this up before it sells out.
