KONCOS deliver a live-band dance-music cover of "Bongo Song," the tribal-funk masterpiece by ZONGAMIN, the maverick Japanese producer based in the UK!! Rounded out with a dub remix by the much-anticipated unit KENSINGTON AND HAUS, this is the long-awaited 7-inch release!!!
"Bongo Song" was released in 2005 on ED BANGER by UK-based Japanese producer ZONGAMIN, and became a hit track played by popular DJs across the board, including JUSTICE and 2'MANY DJS. Now KONCOS — the three-piece band based in Shimokitazawa who perform at live houses and clubs all over Japan — turn it into a live-played tribal alternative disco cover! Originally released digitally only in June 2020, it finally gets the long-awaited vinyl treatment. Faithfully reproducing the tribal, funky sound of the original while beefing up the bass and piano riffs, it's a dance cover guaranteed to shine on the floor. Side B features a bass- and dub-leaning, thoroughly vintage-flavored dope dub remix by KENSINGTON AND HAUS, the must-watch dub-soul unit — soon to release their debut single — whose ranks include RSD a.k.a. Rob Smith, the Bristol sound giant also known for his work in Smith & Mighty.
