Spirit Catcher

Henry Maldonado knows a thing or two about dance music. Having made his mark in the 90s on Strictly Rhythm and MAW, the New York native more recently delved into disco endeavors, both as one-half of Native Underground on Wurst and Under the Shade, and also solo as Son of Sound on Tirk, and now Mystery Meat. 'Spirit Catcher' is peak-time filtered disco house action of the highest order. Punchy drums, a huge bassline and massive floor-filling vocals do the damage every time. 'She Rides' takes the tempo down a notch, bringing that electro funk vibe you know all the kids were poppin' and lockin' to way back when. 'Thanks in Advance' keeps things firmly in the 80s with affected female vox and killer arpeggios aplenty. Mmmm, the meat sure is tasty this week![was]
