Welcome Elektronauts to another week of sampling pleasure!
This week we have a gem from 1985, and is from a second disc included with ‘Hit and Run’ - Sunshine (Instrumental) by Total Contrast, which is one half of ‘The Basement Tapes’.
Total Contrast were a male musical duo from England, specialising in soul and electro music. They are well known for their 1985 hit “Takes a Little Time”, which made No. 1 on the US dance chart and No. 17 in the UK. The group formed in 1983 consisting of members Robin Achampong and Delroy Murray. Further releases in the UK included “Hit and Run”, a minor hit which reached No. 41 in 1985, “The River” which peaked at No. 44 in early 1986, and “What You Gonna Do About It” peaking at No. 63 in the summer of 1986. The latter track was also featured on the band’s self-titled album.
Here’s a youtube taster but make sure to download the vinyl recording for your sampling pleasure - I’ve also included a stemroller export. I only have the instrumental version as that’s all that’s on the disc, but there is a version out there with vocals which you’re free to grab and use.

Damn son that was quick
FRESH find 
It sounds like a funky Halloween theme, and couldn’t help but draws parallels to MJ’s Thriller in some sections! Cool old school drums man!
