Crazy P, the biggest band you’ve never heard of. Or the biggest band you have heard of but never listened to. The Manchester quartet have recently moved to Leeds’ 2020Vision, and things are all the better for it. Their live reputation is formidable, easily one of the best live disco / funk outfits going, and the fact they have been going for the best part of 10 years means they bring a depth of experience that NME feted disco acts sorely lack. However, larger mainstream success has evaded them thus far, perhaps because, whilst listening back to some of their previous stuff, I reckon the fat warm funk sound of their live get up has not been fully recreated on record (CD, download whatever). Until now that is. Title track and album opener Stop Space Return takes a muscular acid bass line and fuses it to a lazy house beat, Thriller synth stabs and electronic handclaps which match perfectly with Danielle’s vocals. And from there on in, things just get better. It’s like the best parts of boogie, disco, funk and house have been forced together to make the ultimate pop-dance record.
