Amp Fiddler - Hope / Dope |

Please note this is an old page and Fly Global Music has now moved. Please follow this link and search for the entry in the new site. We haven’t heard much of him since the Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly and his various live appearances at the time (see North Sea Jazz Festival). That album featured J.Dilla (RIP) on one track and Amp was instrumental in getting him wider recognition outside of their native Detroit. And talk of respect, Amp’s played with George Clinton don’t ya know? The A-side has been given a ‘Transatlantic Remix’ by Dave Jones, aka Zed Bias and one half of Phuturistix. Now, they’ve remixed Mpho Skeef and Mark de Clive Lowe in the past so you’d be thinking along the lines of broken beat? Well you’d be wrong, it’s a hypnotic funky house shuffle with some very familiar disco synths towards the end. Amp’s vocals are strong and sexy as he longs for his woman. This is very danceable with added bass bounce. If you liked Amp in a sexy get down mode, ‘Dope’ oozes bedroom goings on as this ghetto fly is waltzing. “Your love is like dope baby, it gets me so high,” with added slow summer breeze tempo funk. It’s great to have him back and he’s confirmed for the TDK Festival (along with Kenny Dixon Jr.) for the August Bank Holiday. Lets hope there are some more Fiddler gigs to come.
