The third in the exceptional 'Mr and Mrs Smith: Something for the Weekend' series delves deeper into the good groove, with an eclectic mix providing the ultimate soundtrack to a glossy, cosmopolitan weekend away.
The key with Vol. 3 is that it unleashes a mix of recognizable artists alongside some rare nuggets of musical gold: leaning heavily on jazz influences coupled to nu-groove elements from hip-hop to psychedelia, to give it an injection of cool!
'Mr and Mrs Smith' is a high-end British holiday and hotel review company, who have gained an enviable reputation for their incredible getaway recommendations - and now also for their immaculately selected compilations! No more enduring the middle-of-the-road motorists' rock habit or her bubblegum-pop guilty pleasures, as they present this first class ticket to psychedelic soul-injected, indie-pop-peppered, electrofunk-enhanced aural escapism.
'Mr and Mrs Smith Vol. 3' bears fruit with gems like The Supremes psychedelic cover of The Beatles' "Come Together"; German hip hop crossed with African roots thanks to Bantu's "How Real"; and a classic from Ian Dury, alongside the likes of Sugardaddy [ex-Groove Armada fella Tom Findlay], Keith, Grandadbob, Louie Austen and plenty more.
All brought together by DJ supreme Rob Wood, turntablist at clubs and festivals across Europe, from Fabric to the Big Chill. To produce the CD, once again Seamless Recordings, label behind the 'Bargrooves' series, is onboard.
'Mr and Mrs Smith: Something For The Weekend Vol. 3', is a mix of old and new - intended to brighten up a car trip, boost the mood back in your hotel boudoir and whet your wanderlust when enjoyed back at home.
