A. Air Ecosse
B1. Too Yacht To Handle
B2. AORwaves
Riding high on the inexplicable tech-house adoption of their last release, Talking Drums return with hit number six. This desert island disc finds the family bagging a last minute flight to sunnier climes, where the cocktails are strong and the seas are calm.
On “Air Ecosse”, the crew provide an engine overhaul to a middling slice of Scotch boogie, squeezing maximum thrust out of the new beat-y intro before a bubbling bassline and chiming chords provide some serious uplift. The captain takes the comms for a late deadpan vocal, hinting at a little Pet Shop Boys karaoke prior to touchdown in paradise.
The percussion pals kick off the Birkies on the B-side, boarding the bateau with a pair of proper harbour heaters. “Too Yacht To Handle” bubbles along like Mick’n’Keef in disco mode, oozing grooves under a swooning vocal a lá Nicolette Larson. A hazy arrangement lets the music play, indulging the instrumental breaks, soaring synths and subtle delays in true 12” Extended Mix styleé, perfect for peaktime at poolside or la playa. Dropping the tempo to a sunset strut, “AORwaves” provides the perfect cool-down, as TD cut back the fat on a forgotten soft-rocker to create a cosmic yacht bomb. Low slung, sleazy and spaced out, this is gonna rock a bar set and beyond.

Welcome to the wonderful weird of Talking Drums - home to poorly executed dance moves, misjudged vibes and narcotic bravery. Semi-Cosmic, way wonky and oozing grooves, this is music for disco mystics and club misfits.
