Tracklist:

That’s My Story (Featuring Roland Clark)

That’s My Story (Breakthrough Dub)

Be Honest

Agua de Florida

Musclecars & Toribio from NYC have been causing waves in the soulful house scene and beyond in the last year, those Louie Vega mixes on BBE particularly, here they team up with the legendary Roland Clark in “ That’s My Story”, main vocal and more deep jazzed out dub… this is what is said (and its right!).

“In many ways, this track feels like a coming together of the trios influences. The lyrics contextualise it, giving it this intimate, confessional feel. The latin drums shuffling amidst the 909 kick drive it forward and the organ swimming freely amongst it all takes us to church. It’s a timeless track – paying homage to the various New York traditions laid down by Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford, Joaquin Claussell , Ron Trent – all heroes and collaborators of the composers who – with this effort – have surely now earned their place in the pantheon of American Soul Music”.

Be Honest’ maintains the confessional tone with the lyrics but takes things right back down in terms of tempo. Is it a love song, an ultimatum or a cry for help.

Agua De Florida serves as an uplifting, deep house homage, instrumental with a full horn solo and full of NYC/Gospel keys. Rhythm Section with a special 12” here!
