- Supafly are Australia's Mister P and Christos (Ultrasun) from Melbourne with "One" from London on vocals. The cover of this CD single certainly took me by surprise, looking for all the world like a reggae album. Pop it in the CD player though, press play and you are HOOKED. Supafly vs Fishbowl's "Let's Get Down" sounds like a delightful summery house song that is a cross between Bob Marley and Funkstar Deluxe's "The Sun is Shining".
My CD single package features 7 different edits and mixes, though unfortunately my review copy is not credited. There are two radio edits with the first being a straight up house tune. I usually dislike radio edits but with this tune it quickly and simply portrays the best of this song - good lyrics, male vocals and a tune that sticks in your head while you wiggle your bum.
The second radio edit is a slowed breakbeat version that lacks the catchiness of the original, and is marred by cheesy synth breaks which return on several of the full length tracks.
Version four of "Let's Get Down" goes disco with all top end sounds over the booty shaking beat. Version five takes a spin at urban sounds, being slowed right down with prominent vocals and backing vocalists on the chorus. The song is very stripped back in this version.
Version six is the full length breakbeat version and just doesn't work well for me, as the vocals don't sit well with the music. Version seven is a longer version of the first radio edit with some funky house percussion under it and those synths again. This mix and version four get the balance right between club sounds and the radio version. Reggae meets house - I like!
