Given that the lyrics reference the difficulty of earning a
living, there's something timeless about American Steel's
underground boogie killer 'Hustlin' Time'. It's one of those
hard-to-find, independently released gems that has become
increasingly difficult to find in recent years - hence this
remastered digital reissue from Isle of Jura. We get all
four of the original mixes, starting with short and long
versions that combine classic electrofunk and electro tropes
(echoing drum machine beats, squelchy synth bass, bright
synth stabs and impassioned male vocals) with waves of steel
pan melodies. It's unusual, but also genuinely brilliant.
We're also treated to a killer dub mix which strips back the
track and adds plenty of contemporaneous effects, and a tidy
instrumental mix.
