Summary

Today’s Top Tune: Flying Mojito Brothers ‘Polk Salad Annie’

The Flying Mojito Bros link up with the legacy of Tony Joe White on The Swamp Fox, a remix project that bridges swampy Southern soul with late-night disco grooves. Inspired by White’s own genre-blending experiments in the late ’70s and ’80s, the UK duo rework cuts from The Real Thang including “Polk Salad Annie” into their signature “desert disco” sound—bringing new life to the Swamp Fox’s timeless funk.
