OLDEN BUT GOODEN
Everyone knows the feeling of finding a record that makes you want to throw some serious shapes! The Limp Twins did that (and still do that) for me. I was made aware of them a few years ago. To late unfortunately as they are no longer together. The duo comprised of Quantic, the well known Brighton based producer, musician and founder of Tru Thoughts Records, and Russ Porter, lesser known but by no means lesser talented. Another Brighton based musician and singer. They only made one LP together, a great shame as 'Tales from beyond the groove' is an absolute persy! Serious funky licks mixed up with some ultra inspirational beats and breaks. Apparently they split due to "musical differences" or some shit like that, but, in a weird sort of way i quite like the fact that they only made minimal amounts of tracks as i am left wanting more. I highly recommend getting hold of their record. One of their tracks is featured on an old Breakin Bread mixtape, which is actually where I first heard them. Check their Myspace link below and i have also thrown in a track for your listening pleasure. BLUP BLUP!!!!
