Squarehead At Juno Download

Review: Having previously contributed acclaimed cuts to Wolf Music and Pets Recordings releases, Squarehead makes his debut on Sounds of Sumo. In keeping with his previous output, Close is full of the sort of bouncy, retro-futurist garage fare that's so popular right now; all of the original tracks here are fantastic examples of the sound, from the MK vibes of the title track, to the sparkling pianos of "Part Deux" and bumpin' late night deepness of "Unreal". Remix-wise, head straight for the basement-bothering boom-bap business of CDBL's almighty tweak of "Close".

Review: According to the dictionary, a squarehead is 'a stupid or inept person'. The dictionary is clearly wrong as this Sheffield producer (aka Oliver Ledger) is a highly adept producer indeed. Oh wait! Maybe it's an ironic moniker! Anyway here he cooks up two juicy dancefloor bombs - "Elegante" being a mid-paced 90s house groover with jazzy overtones and "Now Is Good" bravely going for the whole handbag/speed garage shebang - essential!
