Greenmoney At Juno Download

Review: Big look for UK duo Greenmoney with a debut EP for A Trak's label Fools Gold backed with some killer remix action. The West London duo have been responsible for some killer UK funky inflected remixes over the past two years and the Gold Ru$h EP sees them drop some original material with a little vocal help. East London's Mz Brattz meacingly spits out over dubbed sirens, growling bass and a stepping rhythm on "Who's Greenmoney?" Lady Chann's machine gun chatter peppers "Political Hype" with brilliance (A Trak's been hammering this one) and "Suh Mi Stay" melds Serocee's infectious toasting with a burbling bassline and superlative synth stabs. Rising star Mele drops a tropical step rerub of "Who's Greenmoney?" with some evil bass stabs. Karizma steals the healines though, with an epic remix of "Suh Mi Stay", the Baltimore legend neatly edits in the Think break over a rolling percussive rhythm, adding some stereo vocal dubs and submerges a replayed, edited synth melody in the depths of the mix, only to let it rise and take over.

Review: The latest from duo Alex Phountzi and Leo Greenslade is something for the DJs - three freshly-minted bass/garage/UKF beats that go into making up Volume 2 of their Greenmoney Dubs series. "Open Sesame" is a bubbly and twitchy mix of purple chords, snare-filled funky percussion and excellent, unyielding bass. "Calling You" comes in on a starker, more stripped down sound, with a mighy electro-Rhodes break that'll push hands skyward with ease while Boomticka is the ruffest of the batch, riding a tropical-funky beat and an electro synth-squall that's simply brimming with club-rocking energy.
