Jukebox: Nathan Haines feat. Marlena Shaw
“Get your soul satisfied, get your brain a little fried, by the Squire for Hire — he’ll naturally set your soul on fire!”
Yes, the fine jazz squire who calls himself Nathan Haines hails from New Zealand — the land of sheep! Classically trained in jazz and now based in London; he’s even dabbled in Drum n Bass, releasing jungle dubplate classics as Sci-Clone (together with A-Sides) under the revered Metalheadz label.
The trip-hop tune I’m sharing with you is the title track from his album Squire For Hire — released in ‘03 (post-DnB days). It’s a got a relentless rolling drum-groove, infectious organ chords and features the ’sex with attitude on high heels’ vocals of disco-queen Marlena Shaw.
Tune in & treat your ears to some aural sex now…
