The Bamboos
- You Ain't No Good feat. King Merc
(Digital single) Tru Thoughts TRUDD014, 2010-06-21

You Ain't No Good featuring King Merc is the second single from The Bamboos' fourth album, 4, and it drops on 21st June at the height of the Australian band's long-anticipated UK and European tour (see the mix they did for Paris DJs for dates). Recently released to widespread acclaim, 4 has launched The Bamboos beyond the boundaries of their deep funk and soul scene and into the consciousness of an appreciative wider audience. You Ain't No Good, with a killer hook and wigged out Gnarls Barkley-meets-Phil Spector-esque mix of pop, psychedelia and soul, is set to continue the trajectory.

Hot on the heels of his irresistible third album, 27 Devils, which came out in May, multi-instrumentalist Flevans brings you The 28th Devil, a devilish collection of remixes, bringing the melting pot of styles and sounds, glorious songs and dancefloor bombs on 27 Devils into even more danceable, club-directed territory.

A companion piece to the 27 Devils album, this remixes collection is a perfect party record, injecting Flevans' unshakable dancefloor-directed pop/funk productions with a dose of other flavours, from deep disco to 2-step.

Tru Thoughts' first Shapes compilation of 2009 is a rather massive 29 track double CD collection, featuring a selection of current highlights, remixes and exclusive tracks from acts including Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, Bonobo, Belleruche, The Bamboos, Nostalgia 77 Sessions featuring Keith and Julie Tippett, Kinny, Stonephace and all the excellent artists currently signed to the roster, of which there are far too many to mention in one coherent sentence.
