Casino Times At Juno Download

Review: Following their appearance on Sccucci Manucci's recent (and rather good) Friends Of The Family EP, Casino Times offer up their hymn to the most pointless of all club-friendly stimulants: laughing gas. It's perhaps no surprise that the track itself is variously woozy, rush-inducing and momentarily dizzying, building the action around rising and falling riffs and Bashmore-ish synth action. Thankfully, it doesn't wear out in 20 seconds! Elsewhere, Christoph Andersson offers up a dreamy synth-pop take with an all-new (auto-tune heavy) vocal, while Frank Rodas gets impressively wonky on his bonkers version.

Review: The finest moustache bearer since Selleck rocked the TV as Magnum PI returns. That's correct, Sccucci Manucci drop a long awaited second release on the fledgling imprint, enlisting a premier cast of continental friends to lay down some class A discoteria! Securing the talents of Runaway's Jacques Renault is no mean feat for the self styled "purveyors of fine music," and the On The Prowl boss serves up a beefy disco funk edit in the vein of his killer Public Release twelve from last year. In support, a cast of rising UK talent serve note of their budding prowess, with Tenth Circle's Zoo Look indulging in some monstrously expansive beatdown a la The Revenge on the aptly titled "Early Doors". Casino Times provide the "why didn't I think of that" moment with "That's The Truth," a Bashmore style take on the De La Soul & Chaka Khan collab which has been burning up sound systems from London to Petrcane this summer. Young one Picture House ends proceedings with aplomb on "Blaxploitation" a gritty shaker reminiscent of Eddie C in his pomp.
