In 2010 The Pimptones broke onto the funk and soul scene with this 7". Released on Wack records, "Deeper Pimp" features a famous acapella with a killer live band backing. More than just a cover, a reworking or a reimagining, the guys started from scratch with a Hendrix inspired dirty breakbeat funk jam which couldn't be further from the slick pop soul of the original.
This single features the "Smoove Retouch", backed with The Breakbeat Junkie's track "Turn It Up". A must for any DJ and vinyl lover.
"Double Groovy, it's better than the original"
- Craig Charles (BBC6 Music, UK)
"...GOD DAMN!! These are absolutely outstanding cover-versions (or should I call it 'Mashups'? or 'Bootlegs'?)! I think the world needs more Bootlegs/Mashups/Remixes on such a high quality level...."
After more than a decade on the Funk and Soul scene, Nick Pride & The Pimptones boast a back catalogue of five full studio albums plus a whole host of side projects and extra releases to discover. Composer and songwriter Nick Pride's slick arrangements have all the harmonic sophistication that the jazz cats love, delivered with a heavyweight punch that keeps the dance floor moving.
