Smoke Signals

The Turtles were a psychedelic folk bunch with, as Discogs states, pop sensibilities. They we're around from the mid 60's onward, a sort of sub Beatles group with a penchant for pot and American Indian influences amongst other folksy type endeavours. 'I'm Chief', is unquestionably a bit crazy, but this Todd Terje (as Tangoterje) edit is totally funky, aswell as a bit nutty. It'll certainly get a lot of not so euphoric glances, grins and snickers from the groovers on your dance floor should u be daring enough to play it. Supreme Records put it out in 2005 and it's a whole lot of Harvey'esque fun, frankly i think it's brilliant.

I was planning to work on this track myself - now I don't have to!

Guaranteed to be the only track you will play all night containing the phrase "We're the Royal Macadamia Nuts".
