Booka Shade - Honeyslave EP

Way back at last year's Identity Festival, one of the most underrated acts there (and one of my personal favorites) had to have been Booka Shade.  They do not grace the US with their presence all that frequently as they are touring all over the globe so you have to take what you can get in the form of studio releases normally.

Last week, Booka Shade released their Honeyslave EP and in typical Booka Shade fashion it did not disappoint.  Although only 4 tracks long with 2 being club mixes of the original songs Honeyslave and Tomorrow Belongs to Us it certainly makes for a great listen. I especially enjoyed the club mix of Tomorrow Belongs to Us as the groove slowly builds throughout and brings in the semi-robotic vocals in a more atmospheric form later.  The original of that same song is just as good but obviously is more chill and I tend to prefer the more danceable versions of most songs.  Check out the EP in it's entirety below thanks to Dimmak Records via YouTube and make sure to purchase it via Beatport if you like what you hear.
