Where “City Life Swagger” is void of Dial 81’s slick positive poetry, the voice of this jazz-injected instrumental speaks up, slicing six-string samples between two R&B-based bookends of thumping space age sensuality — an instrumental track that simply doesn’t rest. Flash-forward to “Funky Candidate” — the politically charged rendezvous of Chromeo’s synth nostalgia and Beans’ mind shattering delivery as seen through Detroit’s Dial 81. Built around an infectious hook and stacked with social substance, Dial 81’s revolutionary take on political corruption in his own hometown (and beyond) speaks to even the most patriotic … while not boring a single soul on the dance floor. On FURS officially commissioned remix of “Funky Candidate” for Exchange Bureau, FURS brings his uncanny ability to mix-and-match, mish-and-mash to center stage with ease.
