Keep on Moving (Reissue) (Limited Neon Orange Vinyl LP)

One of the most sampled groups in history, South Bronx legends ESG have enjoyed three distinct waves of their career. The first, in the early 80s, gifted us their iconic early work, while their early 2000s revival gave us these two extraordinary comeback records. 2002's Step Off and 2006's Keep On Moving continued the funk-fuelled, minimal bass magic we'd come to know and love them for. The third era of ESG is right now, as new generations of fans come to discover them, so it's perfect timing to have these two records reissued, thanks to Fire Records! - Flying Out

Sampled on TV ads, lauded by critics and swooned over on the dancefloor, ESG’s post-punk took out the grunge and polished the basics. Cut them open and “less is more” is written all the way through.

Keep On Moving was released just over ten years ago to much praise (Q said it was “even better” than 2002’s much loved Step Off). ESG had been sparring partners for PiL and early hip hop and four years after the Off, they were onto something new – rhythm as core, reflective storylines about relationship management, sensuality and insanity gather around the bass fix but they’re much blurrier than the incessant beats. Inadvertently they unmask techno and glitch and leave out any kind of superfluous fluff. It’s hard and temple throbbing. Turn it up. And keep moving.
