  • The Unit will release the Ain't No Need EP via Theo Parrish's Wildheart Recordings later this month. The Unit is a group that backed Parrish during his 2014 Teddy's Get Down European tour, comprising Detroit multi-instrumentalist Amp Fiddler, London musician Mr. Mensah, The Rotating Assembly member Duminie Deporres, ex-Electric Wire Hustle man Myele Manzanza and Detroit-based singer Ideeyah, along with a trio of dancers—Jade Soul, Mai Le and Dominique—choreographed by Gehrik. The EP consists of two recordings culled from those live shows: a cover version of Skye's 1976 funk cut "Ain't No Need," and a rendition of Parrish's own 1996 production "Walking Thru The Sky." RA's Aaron Coultate checked out The Unit's July 2014 concert at London's Barbican Centre—you can read his review here. Listen to samples of the two songs below.
