Tru Thoughts レコード& CD

Review: Anushka's 'Bad Weather', previously released as a one-off track on Tru Thoughts' massive 2021 retrospective compilation, now gets its own single release via the same label. While the band's original jazz-house cut - soul-melting in its Kaytranada-style surround-claps and chiptune flourishes - makes a clear appearance on the B-side here, it's really a new remix by STR4TA that takes centre stage here. And who makes up that outfit, you might ask? Why, none other than curator and radio extraordinaire Gilles Peterson, teaming up with Mauritian guitarist Jean-Paul 'Bluey Maunick'. Together, they render Anushka's original into a booming brit-funk bastardization, readying a series of experimental electronic flourishes and licks that venture far beyond that of your average reworker.
