One For The Weekend: Smoove & Turrell


If ever there was a number made to measure for ?uestlove's Thursday night Bowl Train party at Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY) it's Slow Down, the latest single from fast-rising Geordie soul tandem Smoove & Turrell.
Not only does the uptempo floor-filler have the precisely the right funky 70s throwback vibe to rock The Roots' drummer's weekly DJ event showcasing classic Soul Train clips in the popular Williamsburg hipster hang out, Richard Hadley's video for Slow Down is set in a damn bowling alley! How he ever managed to get Seth Rogan to play the role of singer John "Smokey" Turrell for the shoot, we'll never know but it's a snazzy piece of work.
You should also know that Wass Records has released a white label seven-inch version of the Slow Down single b/w Hard Work in a limited edition of 400 copies as a preview of the dynamic duo's second album Eccentric Audio out now right here
