ALI B & NICK THAYER – BOMB STRIKES 19

August 25th, 2010

While I was recently on tour in Australia I got in the studio with Nick Thayer and we put together these tracks for a release on the mighty Bomb Strikes label. ‘Music’ and ‘N E Way’ feature on the forthcoming Bomb Strikes 19 alongside Nick Thayer’s ‘Back To You’. They are pure, funk-laden party starting bangers and have been working well on the floor for the last couple of months. The great news is that they will be available on vinyl soon but in the meantime you can check out a sample of them in the Soundcloud player above. You can also check out the video for ‘N E Way’ right here.
