The end of a corrupt Tory government in the UK. A dream gig. The next quality release from Jack Said What. They say, ‘Good things come to those that wait’.
This release by George Reid & Ten Ven also says ‘Good things come to those that wait’. The infectious house track is pivoted by this topline hook, sounding not too dissimilar to an Audio Bullys vocal with its aggy bovver-boy swagger.
However, this is offset by carnivalesque trumpets, a burbling b-line and a feelgood bounce. Wait for the drop — the beats powering back in are worth the wait too.
George Reid & Ten Ven are two highly respected producers who come together for collabs every so often. George used to be in the indie band Colours before making his name as one half of electro-pop duo AlunaGeorge, who had several hits in the early 2010s — including a No.2 smash with Disclosure.
Ten Ven, meanwhile, is an alias of Tom Neville, who has been involved in various projects over his storied career. Tom was once half of Retro/Grade with Jack Said What stalwart Serge Santiago, and was also half of Jack Thunder with Frank Tope, and Muse Zikka and Silver Sonic with his late friend Martin Dawson.
‘Wait’ is a perfect summer dance record. Don’t wait too long to play this one out.
