Soundblast is a Canadian studio disco band who covers Booker T & The MG's 1971 soul/psychedelic instrumental “Melting Pot”. The remake released on Uniwave Records in 1980 is a groove with more downbeats and a vocoder added for the technology advance effect. This one has a true allegiance with more determination on the climbing bridge which almost feels gospel backed with the keyboards blaring out their refrain. It is a nice taste of the past roots of soul and where the groove began to educate those involved with a more underground dance experience.
I have taken the 12” cover of “Melting Pot” and used more of the rhythmic elements to create this ReStructure Mix. The bongos and rhythm parts are given a faraway into the excitement of this laid back, yet funky-ass track.
