Brimming with Flash \u0026amp; The Pan style pub-rock wonk this one boasts a growling vocal, sparkling keys and an uplifting chorus which doesn't quite break the spell of extreme silliness.\u003cbr\u003eOn the A2, Bristol's Spice Route rescue a nebulous reggae gem from Library obscurity, swinging the scalpel and working the desk to turn out an unstoppable groover.\u003cbr\u003eBuilt around an irresistible rhythm section, \"Gruler Dub\" keeps on getting higher as the space-based vocals and trilling synths turn your brain inside out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B1 brings the return of Drum Chum extraordinaire Neil Diablo, who follows the Balearic brilliance of his last label outing with a cosmic caper into pure oddball pop. \"Starry Night\" slinks along in a chromed out catsuit, purring weirdo vocals over robo-chug and mechanical drums before indulging in a catchy chorus packed with addled innuendo. Not only is this as arch as Gina X doing a forward fold, but it also boasts some serious bass weight in the later stages - you have been warned.\u003cbr\u003eWe're delighted to finally feature a little magic from Australian Italo wizard Hysteric, who brings the curtain down in utterly emotional fashion via AOR disco dream \"Pinball\". A steady beat, infectious bassline and glistening chords play host to a swooning vocal, which reminds us to go with the flow and follow fun at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Drum Fun Guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"DRUM CHUMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43884127191196,"sku":"TD-CHUMS009","price":14.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/1_51205a0a-72d8-4e81-9896-fdfae23583a7.jpg?v=1718298202"},{"product_id":"approach-release-drum-chums-vol-10","title":"APPROACH RELEASE - DRUM CHUMS VOL.10","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: TD-CHUMS010\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: Apr 2025\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soul, Disco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
