LIMITED EDITION 7" 45rpm vinyl - Clear-Sound Splatter.

Rhythm's Got Soul is the highly anticipated collaboration between the renowned singer/ songwriter Asabi Goodman, and producer/arranger Geoff Boardman A.K.A. Blunted Stylus. The combined impact of supreme vocals and powerhouse production, brings authority and intrigue to the dance floor. Rhythm's Got Soul has groove and style reminiscent of the back-to-back, wall-to-wall packed dancefloors of
the fever-pitched disco era, steady spinning in at 115 BPM.

Side A - Rhythm's Got Soul bursts through the stratosphere 'all frequencies blazing!"
Treating the listener to pitched horns, filtered drums, those sultry Asabi vocals, reinforced by the everlasting bass from Andrew 'Bigfoot' Leslie. Momentum steps up with the rhythm guitar of Dave VHS, accompanied with vamp keys and hectic percussion.

Side B - Rhythm's Hot (Afro Instrumental) is a monster cut on the flip, a relentlessly persuasive percussion groove, well timed transitions spread smooth like butter, akin to Midnight Marauders chords, styled across 'A Taste Of Honey' bassline for example, on an Afrocentric trip building up to the disco-fever instrumental strut.

Asabi Goodman is an American born, Australian entertainer consistently performing in stage and screen productions, and touring with bands and Broadway musicals Hairspray! and CHICAGO, and more... Asabi's vocal ability effortlessly elevates from 'sweet and soulful' to 'commanding and powerful', all the while showing unmistakably that her passion for the audience, and respect for the song is at the heart of every performance.

Geoff Boardman is an Australian producer, avid record collector, and co-founder of the ground breaking sample-funk group the 'RESIN DOGS' (1996-2005). He has produced and performed alongside Robert Reed of TROUBLE FUNK, supported Fat Boy Slim, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Kraftwerk, Black Eyed Peas, and many others. Started cutting his teeth in mixtapes, and volunteering at community radio at 4ZZZ for the year of 1988 (around the golden era of hip hop) hosting arguably Australia's first dedicated Hip Hop show "Just2Def".

The SOULICITORS are the band on this release 'sitting in the pocket', syncopated and loose after the MPC4000 sample treatment, a sort of new paradigm of band-samples soul-fusion exploration!
