As a taster for this autumn's Killer Meters LP, this double 45 of pure dancefloor nastiness is pretty much impeccable. Showcasing the band's talent for providing a whistlestop tour through the history of funk and soul, it also suggests that, in frontwoman Karime Kendra (daughter of Northern Soul legend Ty Karim), they may just have a bona fide star in the making. 'Freak' is a Sly and the Family Stone 1970s psychedelic wig out, in which Kendra tells a tale of not being able to take her eyes off someone. Unsurprisingly, given that she oozes soul diva from every poor, the feeling is mutual. As usual, this is music for the dancefloor, about the dancefloor.

'Stomp' meanwhile, provides something of a change of pace. It's still gloriously infectious and upbeat, but the propulsive beats here are pure 60s soul. In a move guaranteed to please Blue Oyster Cult and indeed Christopher Walken, it contains just the right amount of cowbell. All in all, a perfect start to what will hopefully be a damn funky summer. If they can keep this pace up over a full album, I suspect that there will be plenty of people unable to keep their eyes off Karime and her cohorts. I can't believe I just wrote that. I'll blame it on the boogie. Christ, that's actually worse..
