Buzz Compass At Juno Download

Review: Russian Buzz Compass returns to the eminently collectable No More Hits series, and it's a hoot for all discophiles. The cheekily titled "Forget Me Nuts" takes the classic Patrice Rushen refrain and loops it into infinity, very much in the manner you might hear on a Duckbeats record. Things take a turn for the heavier as we hit "Carland", a pumping filtered house track that reeks of Chi-town bompty business we'd expect to hear from Farina. "The Sun" is a warm and whimsical head nod to a very cool classic while "Honesty" brings us to a soft, meandering conclusion with a guitar and key loop that builds and builds but never lets go. More No More Hits please!

Review: For the latest volume in their usually reliable series, No More Hits have turned to hitherto little-known Russian producer Andrey Bychenko, AKA Buzz Compass. As with previous instalments, Bychenko aims straight for the dancefloor, turning in a trio of filter-heavy disco-house bumpers. "Let Me Love You" sets the tone, turning a long forgotten, sax-heavy disco-funk jam into a bumpin' chunk of hip-wigglin' goodness. "Egyptian Nights" dips the tempo, cutting up smooth disco classic "Nights Over Egypt" and adding some loose new drums. The final cut, "Best Friend", turns an old R&B jam into a delicious chunk of midtempo soulfulness.
