Riton At Juno Download

Review: UK producer Riton has had many homes (DFA, Ed Banger, Turbo, Modular, Phantasy to name a few), and many collaborators, including the much-missed DJ Mehdi as Carte Blanche. Dim Mak however have hooked him up for this excellent release, which precedes further exciting hook-ups with Canblaster, Scrufizzer, Sneaky Sound System and Cocknbullkid. Riton's hip-hop roots show on "Dark Place" as he revives a vocal sample that first got mined by Double Dee and Steinski for their seminal "Lesson 3" but which dates back all the way back to '50s Broadway. Dropping that familiar "I know, a dark, secluded place" sample over a shadowy yet pumping electro beat works a treat, while accompanying tune "Acp" keeps things fiercely tropical thanks to some booty bass and funky percussion.
