Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - Nautilus / Maria También (7")

Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band take two standouts from their Big Crown Vaults release and press them on a much needed 7". The German steel pan outfit has amassed a collection of 7s on the label that are all essential pieces in DJ boxes around the world. The A side "Nautilus" is a cover of the Bob James uber classic that has been sampled by hip hop more times than maybe any other record. It is a DJ staple that has soundtracked many a dance floor and breakdance cypher. Bacao's version is a welcome new take on the tried and true original. The B side is their cover of the Khruangbin cult classic "Maria También" and Bacao give the original version a run for it's money. Steel pans ride over chunky drums to great effect and make this another must have for DJs around the globe.
