Losalamitoslatinfunklovesong has been a favorite of mine for a long time,so I'm looking forward to playing it on 7-inch vinyl♪
- MURO


DJ NORI's selection of "Runnin’" (1977) is a superb cover of Earth, Wind &Fire's fast-paced, wide-ranging sound,highlighting the scat vocals. The layered arrangement is said to have taken the most studio time of any of the group's works.In MURO's selection of Gene Harris's "Losalamitoslatinfunklovesong" (1974) cover, women also perform scat vocals.Reimagined in a bossa nova style, the original Latin-fusion track is transformed into a delightful song with a light, pleasant groove.
