Light Touches Records does what it says on the tin – it ‘retouches’ and sheds ‘light’ on old ‘records’, with a focus on rare groove and Latin music. They’re unorthodox, though, in that they don’t credit the original artists behind these ‘classics’, throwing the question as to whether these are legitimate originals – or just clever emulations – up in the air. That shouldn’t deter you, though, because ‘Cheeky’ and ‘Weeping Funk’ are still killer slices of hypnotic funk: “cheeky chaka” goes the refrain on the samba-esque A, while track two is instrumental, resting squarely between the mournful and the upbeat.
