Manicured Noise – Metronome (Cousin Cole Remix)

We’ve every excited to bring you this classic slice of Mancunian Punk-Funk reworked by Brooklyn’s very own party start extraordinaire Cousin Cole… sent from the lovely people at Caroline True Records. Nameing the clubnight after the seminal James Chance hit Contort Yourself its not hard to work out that I’m pretty obsessed with the whole Punk-Funk / Mutant Disco / No Wave sound outside of what i play in the clubs, so this is why i love this track. Cousin Cole takes the original blueprint for Punk-Funk on a magic carpet ride through Manchester’s infamous club the Hacienda, to the 21st Century dancefloor of New York City where Cole and crew man Pocketknife regularly rock the lofts of Brooklyn and beyond.

Staying true to the original sound Cole takes the sturdy bassline for a workout, thumping out the groove against a hypnotic sax line and chopped up vocal that punctuates the track later on. Somehow he gives this number that oh-so-cool tropical / tech house sound thats all over the show at the moment while making it sound equally relevant against the output of modern day dance funk outfits ala Friendly Fires… superb!
