Track Of The Day: Afro Cube - Muevete Mama (Broder Mix) (Strictly Rhythm)

First heard on ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards’ brilliant Essential Mix. A mix that defined the real sound of tech house; ie: playing anything we like at a specific tempo that generally fits into the house or techno template regardless of origin, back in 1995, ‘Muevete Mama’ is another from the underground hit factory that was Murk, (in this case a solo effort from Oscar Gaetan), and came at a time when latin house was definitely on the rise. There’s really not much to this track and compared to a lot of murk’s more famous tracks, it feels a little lite. It does the trick though. The percussion and the spoken word ushering it in, and then the bass comes in . . . even the horns sound good on it. You’re not standing still to this.
