Smooth At Juno Download

Review: Hot new talent Smooth sees another release on Futurebound's Viper Recordings. Jam-packed with soaring synths, pumping beats and dastardly dancefloor flavours, "Cosmos" kicks things off with a Sub Focus style intro before "Cyber Funk" picks things up with a more Cyantific-esque feel - think robotic SFX, metallic synths, industrial bass and an epic midway breakdown. Then there's the trance-infused dubstep lullaby of "Shifting Sands" with Shaz Sparks on vocal duties, the infectiously upbeat "Brighter Days" with its flurry of vocals, the epic, fuzzy feel-good of "Blinded By The Light" and the Camo & Krooked influenced belter "From Within". Part Two of "Shifting Sands" provides a fantastic finale to this superb EP.

Review: Latest Viper signing and Slovakian D&Bster Smooth blends disco tinged vocal work with pumping, euphoric summer time D&B, sizzling synths and a dash of electro to shake things up in title track "Feel So Free" in the style of early Camo & Krooked. Next up "Music Takes Me Higher" elevates things to the next level with punchy drum work and chopped up vocals for a high energy work out of epic proportions. "Micro", the final track of the EP, finishes things up with a driving b-line, synth flourishes, pelting breaks and a glorious breakdown, which highlights Smooth's dancefloor credentials once and for all.
