Pbr Streetgang At Juno Download

Review: With all their brilliant musical shapeshifting, it can sometimes be hard to keep up with Leeds lads PBR Streetgang. Having flirted with both disco and deep house of late - usually both at once - At Dez sees them looking fairly and squarely towards the dancefloor at Basics, with an EP of forthright house treats. "At Dez" itself is typical Yorkshire house - bassy, stripped back, hypnotic and impressively robust - while "2Square" makes mischief with squeaky vocal cut-ups, gargantuan bass and a dash of old skool jack. "Make Your Mind Up" impressively fuses soulful shuffle and touchy-feely synth bass, while "Sexy Time" bounces along on a wave of rubbery bass and voodoo samples.

Review: This fifth release by the increasingly impressive Wolf Music imprint is dedicated to a duo whose star is definitely on the rise. PBR Streetgang consists of Tom Thrope and Bonar Bradbery, whose names will be familiar to fans of Illija Rudman's Red Music imprint and Mindless Boogie. Opening track "Silas" builds from a slap bass loop into a fat and dirty disco house groover replete with synth wigouts. The PBR Streetgang refix of Eddie C's "Your Woman" is up next, with the duo tweaking out proceedings some three minutes before the vocal hook drops - some killer shuffling percussive edits on this one. On the flip side you get "Funny Money" a swaggering uptempo boogie bomb that takes its percussive cue from Boney M's "Sunny" and adds a shedload of bass stabs, guitar licks and funk grunts. UK duo Soft Rocks round things off nicely with a remix of "Funny Money" which goes for the jacking house approach.

Review: Yam Who?'s ISM label come through with a four track slice of disco centric Futurism, featuring the man Yam himself alongside PBR Streetgang and Ron Basejam. It's the latter who takes the lead with a remix of Alena's "Changes" that sees her sultry vocal teased by a most excellent of analogue synth leads that splurges brilliantly across the crisp mid tempo chug. Yam Who? teams up with vocalist Natasha Watts for the similarly bottom heavy bump of "I'm In Love" which has a certain warehouse appeal to it. Up next, PBR pay respect to the godfather of soul James Brown with the gritty flex of "J2thaB" with the sadly departed Mr Brown strangely sounding at times like he wants to go to Tesco. We always took him for a Waitrose man, but regardless this is probably the track you'll reach for most! Finally Brothers Young do their thing to a Trammps classic, with little more than the bassline retained. Big tip!
