A synonym of urban fusion, dancing in the glittering night.
A masterpiece of 80's Brit jazz funk, with a sophisticated groove and fantastical melodies.
Shakatak's signature song "Night Birds" is an urban fusion song with a smooth piano and light bass line reminiscent of London nights. The B-side "Rio Nights" has a Latin-inspired sound, as the title suggests, giving you a sense of freedom as if escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. The sophisticated sound and uplifting rhythms make this a symbol of the golden age of 80's UK jazz funk. The highly designed artwork and other aspects of the single make it a beloved single among DJs and collectors to this day.
