Formed in 2012 at the same London open mic night that produced Denai Moore, the carnival pop outfit “Cable Street Collective” combine catchy tunes with dance-inspired beats to create music that mixes African influences (two of the group grew up in Swaziland and Malawi) with UK funky house and a whole host of other sounds from in and around their home bases in East London and Brixton.
Their debut EP ‘The Best of Times’ is available on iTunes, Spotify and as a physical release.
‘Can’t Take Me Under’ is the lead track and will be released as a single on February 16th 2015.
We had a listen:
Under a new moon of love, some juicy guitars vie for attention with some clattering Calypso drums and a tap-root of dark, sexy, low-slung bass.
The main vocals are impertinent, but relevant.
The chorus will give you Catchy Chorus Syndrome – and the rhythms will shake your old bones and cause a smile to the surface.
A cheeky little number with sky-high smooth vocals, influenced by Caribbean flavours, peas and rice rhythms and a pinch of ska fresh happiness.
