VVWI Recordings considers Mike Monday one of the family. Having long been a stalwart guest playing back to back DJ sessions with Tim Sheridan over the years (with an honourable mention to Back to Basics '09) it seemed just plain mental not to have a track from him out on the label when he is one of our most frequent and well loved guests behind the decks.
Your Body is a return to the increasingly inaccurately named and elusive "Classic Monday Sound". VVWI has been a fan of Mike since he first re-emerged as the dancefloor beast of monster island some years ago. It's been a bitter sweet feeling for the label to witness his spectacular rise and they we are moist with joy to finally have roped the wonky creature that is Your Body to the corral and ridden it around for a bit, whooping until it throws us off and stamps on our face.
Mike's turned in a bucking, shaking animal of a track for us. With his trademark elan at swinging, shuffling, effortless funk... arrange-married to freakish breakdowns and beastly bass, well it's a no brainer for DJing. Mike is the darling of many great labels VVWI respects greatly. Most recently Get Physical and Great Stuff. We are proud to join the esteemed company.
Sometimes VVWI just likes to dance. And that is what Your Body is for.
Sheridan takes it by the hand and leads it down the streets of Port Merion in his trademark oddball manner. He accentuates the freakish and adds a polished sheen of groove with the live drumming skills that can be seen in his new band... and as usual expect a grandiose and unusual turn as it becomes bizarrely symphonic as it builds to crescendo. We even heard a church organ in there somewhere!
We feel this package reflects the DJ partnership of Sheridan/Monday to a tee. Similar but by no means the same. Seamless, but not smartarse. All dancefloor, no messing. Always willingly wonky.
