We know Clive From Accounts.  We know Byron the Aquarius.  But who is the big-head, Bob The Egoist?  He's definitely not the same person but who are these people and why can't I stop dancing?



Well, it's on Felipe Gordon's label, Wide Awake Records so that's a big tick even if it's just WA-003!  And Bob The Egoist is Daniel Pardo who is 'the same person' as the  Colombian/American flutist "An award winning musician for his arrangement of world music with jazzy harmonies".

But these 3-tracks are very Felipe Gordon,Motorcity Wine, Razor N-Tape, house groove but particularly watch out for 'Fever' that's got all the energy you need for a space ship sourced from Colombia’s capital, Bogotá.

'New Beginings' is un-chilled Poolside with jazzy-dub and talking jazz, is this Gilles Peterson's bestest dream world?  Earl Zinger's 'Escape From Ibiza' crossed Mark Murphy's 'Dingwalls' and 'Rose Rouge' for a 'Ride Club' (Bob's Monochromatic Version)!  What's a fullychromatic version going to be like?  

The new EP has taken the Gordon/Egoist Toy Tonic 'Please Don't Go' and last years' 'The Punk Automata' EP (on G.A.M.M) to another level; a even higher level!  As a first solo release its a bit early to crown the new 'Filipe' but i'll ride again even if he's still the same person.

Did I say how good a jazz dancer 'Ride Club' is?  Let's say it again, 'Ride Club' is the jazz dance 2025!
