CNPY016 "Shigo Disgo" sees Aroop Roy & Opolopo united on another Canopy outing, this time coming together for a head to head seeing them each serve up club focused re-interpretations of two Afro boogie cuts : Chicco - Shigomase, a 1990 synth house bomb from South Africa and Spirit Konekson - Disco Party, a funky piece of 70s Nigerian disco. First up Aroop Roy takes on Chicco's proto house beast "Shigomase", dialling up the low end throb factor before bringing it to a synthed out, euphoric crescendo. Following up this Aroop takes his scalpel & bass guitar and chops & flips the Moog led Afro-disco funk attitude of "Disco Party" into a restless boogie bomb that never stops elevating. On the alternate side Opolopo channels extra sleaze into Shigomase, adding dirty dancefloor gristle and a raunchy back end to take the vibe straight to the basement. Rounding out proceedings Opolopo brings "Disco Party" into the present day, adding muscular drums and crunchy synth solos while maintaining the original's loose limbed rare groove
