Jonny's Bugalu (Shoes TV Ad Theme)

A 2 track latin & world jazz single (8m 26s) — released May 14th 2007 on LOFT RECORDS

"Sublime...kicks from start to finish. Thoroughly recommended - quality stuff." Malcolm Prangell, Blues and Soul Magazine "Quality music from London that's totally British, not just a carbon copy" Lubi Jovanovic, Straight No Chaser Magazine Grupo X's much acclaimed albums "X-Posure" (2001) and "Food For Your Latin Soul" (2006), plus singles "Brand New Love" and "X-Perience" won the band many friends worldwide. From latin and jazz radio stations across the USA to a host of international club DJs (Louie Vega, Gilles Peterson, Osunlade, Patrick Forge, Bobbito Garcia, Rainer Truby, Nicola Conte, Jazzanova, Snowboy), Grupo X's music has been much loved and played extensively, featuring on numerous compilations around the world. Grupo X's music came to a new, wider audience with the licensing of "Jonny's Bugalu" for the DSW Shoes Summer '07 commercial across network US television and the track's release as a download single. Grupo X music is heard in the Far Coast (Coca-Cola- owned) cafes and has been used to promote products by Nokia and Malibu. Grupo X Remixed, features the vocal talents of soul/ jazz divas Lisa Millett and Julie Dexter and a variety of mixes from established and up and coming producers including Tony Nwachukwu (Burntprogress/ NEPA). The album sees the band exploring new directions, with favourite tracks given fresh perspectives. From dancehall reggae, to deep, jazzy house; from soul funk and junglalist boogaloo to urban minimalist beats, the album covers a variety of styles, yet maintains the true Grupo X soulful, latin-tinged vibe. Bonus track, Whatever You Dream, recorded in 1999 and an underground hit, yet never released by Grupo X, begins the album, while Tony Nwachukwu's up-to-date reworking of the same tune, Dare to Dream, ends the album, providing a neat symmetry.
