Laid-back but steady grooving funkiness, with nocturnal counterparts delivered by Kyodai and Opolopo.

After his uptempo floor-filler on Wonderwheel's fantastic Turntables On Las Ramblas compilation, Barcelona-based Pablo Sánchez lifts his foot off the pedal and shifts to cruising mode with the laid-back but steady grooving Out And About. A funky rhythm section switching shuffle and go-go, wah-wah guitars, a pinch of brass, nuff percussion, and fellow producer Ezel on the organ. Can you say summertime?

In the remix department, Berlin-based brothers Kyodai provide some delicious peak-time fun adding vocal snippets, a prominent piano and a rather impatient 4/4 beat. Swedish boy wonder Opolopo steps up the pace as well with a funked-up and slightly spacey house rework (nod to Parliament Funkadelic included).

Partly responsible for the Soul Dynamics project in Brooklyn (alongside Alexi Delano), Venezuelan DJ and producer Pablo Sánchez came to Spain in the mid-noughties, choosing Barcelona as HQ. From there, he frequently travels to the rest of the world, either to play out or to record gems as he has done with the likes of Kissey Asplund, Colonel Red, Odnam (Los Amigos Invisibles) or Ethan White (Tortured Soul) for labels such as GAMM, Wonderwheel and, of course, Lovemonk.
