Bah Samba - Moonlight (incl. dj Spinna & Souldynamic Rmx)
‘Moonlight’ is a seductive love song taken from Bah Samba’s acclaimed ‘Shake The Dog’ album project released on Favouritzm last year. Featuring a gorgeous sexy vocal from Copenhagen’s Liv Lykke, ‘Moonlight’ gets a full rework for the dancefloors as Brooklyn’s DJ Spinna turns out a cosmic Galactic Soul groove laced with some sublime key action. Also making a welcome return on remix duty are the mighty Italian DJ/production duo Souldynamic with a haunting afrocentric ‘Go deep Mix’ and a bouncing four-to-the-floor deep house workout. Also making an appearance is band boss Julian Bendall who has crafted a beautiful chillout ‘Lovers Reprise’ for that Valentines cuddle on the couch! ;)

Bah Samba the band include keys wizard Julian Bendall, Oli Savill - percussion (Basement Jaxx), Mark Ralph - guitar (from a famous rock band), Tristan Banks - drums (Da Lata), Dom Glover - Trumpet (Groove Armada) and Nichol Thompson -Trombone.
