SoulTwins: Tune for the Weekend

Each week our resident DJs, the Soultwins, select a classic record from their extensive collection to get you in the mood for the weekend...

Sexual Healing - Hot 8 Brass Band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0AvrdIZhCc Soultwin Stu: "I'd say Marvin was my favourite soul artist, so I usually steer clear of people messing with his music - especially cover versions - but this is brilliant. It's such an original take on the song, and brilliant to play on a night out. "We always get people asking "who’s this?", which is the best part of DJing for me...well that and the free beer." Soultwin Jeff: "Although I love Marvin Gaye, I’ve never really been a big fan of sexual healing; probably because it gets battered on the radio so much. "However this version completely blows me away every time I hear it. I love cover versions that do something completely new with the track and this definitely does that. "From the opening few horns, it just builds and builds until the vocals kick in - then all the horns hit you in one massive crescendo and it’s time to jump about like a loon. "I would love to see them do this live, as it just sounds like pure energy at those gigs." Check out the excellent SoulTwins podcast here.
