Review

“In the late 1920s and the 1930s, at the end of many performances, all of the musicians, singers, and dancers would get together on stage and do one last routine: the Shim Sham, Shim Sham Shimmy or just Sham. Dancers would perform technical variations, while singers and musicians would shuffle along as they were able.” In the heat of the night, let those sweaty numbers melt down any worries. No top hat and gator shoes required… just shake that ass!

SSS001 in the media

Giles Smith (secretsundaze): “This has something cool about it...simple, loopy, party groove...that builds up into some kind of Femi / Fela Kuti track. nice”

philip sherburne: “loving this! even though it's just one step removed from a disco edit, something feels so fresh about it. i love the linearity of it, the way both tracks develop over time... i wish my copy weren't warped on one side, i gotta get another asap....”
