Paprika Soul - Come with Me / Métro / Swampin '2022

Tracks list

       Reissue number three for Heels & Souls Recordings combines the Balearic
bliss of Paprika Soul’s, ‘Come With Me’, with Soft
Sugar’s dream house gem ‘Métro’ and an unreleased version
of the tripped-out groover ‘Swampin'. A cherry picking of the best of
three rare and sought after ‘90s EPs from the minds of High
Wycombe’s Alan Barnes, Andrew Spiller and Andrew Hughes.

As anthemic as they get, Paprika Soul's 'Come With Me (Sea Breeze)' is an
otherworldly electronic interpretation of Tania Maria’s beloved Brazilian
jazz funk classic from '83. Vocalist Sarah Newell's unique delivery combines
with a euphoric blend of Barnes’ and Spiller’s crisp drum machine
programming and cosmic synthwork. Complete with crashing waves and Balearic
birds, it’s a timeless, endorphin-tingling track that feels even more
relevant than ever. The A-side also features the brilliant street soul flavoured
‘The Chill’ mix and the ‘Bossa Mix’, the most true in
form to the original.

On the flip you’ll find Soft Sugar’s dream house flavoured
‘Métro (Funk Mix)’, Barnes and Andrew Hughes’ homage to
time spent cruising the Parisian train system. Barnes’ favourite of their
joint-productions, it blends that riviera feel of classic M1 stabs and sweeping
pads with a dreamy bassline and stuttering breaks. Flying under the radar at the
time, it’s since become hot property for the eagle-eyed digger out there.

Closing out the B, an unreleased, alternate version of Soft Sugar’s
slung-back ‘Swampin’ from their Basement Records House Department
EP. Mesmerizingly smooth, the 110bpm house-groover busts the brain with wigged
out chants and intoxicating arpeggiations.
