The Littlemen – Walkin' Sideways

The Littlemen are a funky house duo who hark from Nottingham, and Wallkin' Sideways is the debut album for their own imprint Mobile Trax. In the last ten years they have racked up over twenty releases on various labels such as Drop Music and Funky Piranha. The experience they have accumulated over the last decade is evident on this fine first full-length which features a host of guest artists who bring an organic feel to a lively track-list. Think Shapeshifters and you'll not be far from the sound of The Littlemen. Walkin' Sideways is thoughtfully put together and is certainly aimed at the dance floor, so in some ways it’s no surprise that Gav and Steve have both been DJing on the UK free party scene for the last three years. One criticism is that lyrically it gets a tad predictable and cheesy in places, although for the most part the vocal performances are fine.
