The Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club At Juno Download

Review: You'd expect a collection of tracks from the likes of Rick Wade and Anton Zap on esteemed deep house imprint Shanti to be pretty nifty, and - predictably - it is. With five soft focus excursions to choose from, there's plenty to get excited about - not least Wade's contribution. "Sexy Rostov" is as smooth and silky as we've come to expect, with enough bottom end groove to please all but the most bass-obsessed rave urchins. Zap's "We Are Satisfied" is equally simmering, but the real revelation is "Marwencol" by the St Petersburg Disco Spin Club - an unfeasibly beautiful slice of slow house brilliance that boasts some particularly intricate piano arrangements.

Review: There's been a steady stream of impressive music surfacing from the vast Russian expanses in recent times, and one name from the area to definitely keep an eye out for is The Saint Petersburg Disco Spin Club. Hailing naturally from St Petersburg, this producer broke through with a revelatory contribution to the My Friends various artist EP released by esteemed Moscow label Shanti Records (no mean feat when the likes of Rick Wade and Anton Zap were also on the release) Fast forward several months and TSPDSC unveils his debut release proper in the shape of the Swing Swung Swong EP. As you'd expect from such a title, the five tracks here present house music with a delicately jazzy swing to them as demonstrated on lead track "I Need To Have You Next To Me" and "Sample Customers". Perhaps the best track however is "Beat Street" which deviates towards 80s era Freestyle with aplomb!
