Bouncing boogie funk in ‘When We Roll’ by The Mighty Mocambos
“When We Roll” is the third and final single lifted from Hamburg funk kings The Mighty Mocambos‘ upcoming new album A Higher Frequency, scheduled for release on LP and Digitally on June 6th 2025.
Bouncing boogie funk collides with dreamy summer jazz. Big horns build over a crunchy rhythm section with relentless bassline, drums, guitar and clavinet drifting into mellow choruses with beautiful collective interplay led by flute, flugelhorn and grand piano.
This single as well as the new full-length A Higher Frequency were recorded with a nine-piece live to tape at the legendary MPS studio in the Black Forest. The album is full of spiritual grooves, soulful themes, loose funkiness and organic interplay, captured with state-of-the-art 1960s gear in a super-vibey room – but the title A Higher Frequency is not just about the pristine analogue sound quality of the recording, it is also a reference to a trancendant wavelength where minds meet and music connects.
Are you ready? Cause The Mighty Mocambos are on a roll!
