Chillifunk presents the debut single from vocalist and long-time friend, Ricky Barrow, ‘With or without you’. This hypnotic house groover, is produced by L+T Project incorporating a soulful electronica backdrop to Ricky’s unique laid back soul vocal. A warm sub bass drives the track with arpeggio synths with a nod to the 90’s dancefloors, with synth lead lines and percussive house beats. Ricky’s roots are firmly in soul and reggae as he is known for being the lead singer of Dean Thatcher’s ‘The Aloof’. The 90’s indie dub band were signed by Pete Tong to London Records, after originally being featured on Flying Records label, Cowboy.
