Toyboy & Robin At Juno Download

Review: London garage/deep house fusionists Toyboy and Robin are at it again, this time dropping a spiraling chunk of summer house madness for Cool Kid Music. "Jaded" ticks all the boxes; think chopped-up, pitched-up vocals, big pianos, rolling garage beats, big drops, even bigger bass and all manner of hands-in-the-air FX.; it's one of those tunes that's seemingly impossible to dislike; whether wafting from a passing car radio, in the club or in a bar, it would raise a smile or two.

Review: Toyboy and Robin's rather large recent bass-house smash "Jaded" gets the remix treatment here, with hyped up producers Amtrac and Village shuffling the parts and adding their own twist. Village's version builds impressively, layering up elements - tipsy chords, the original's woozy vocal, tasty pads - over a shuffling groove that's deceptively heavy. Amtrac makes more of the vocal, beginning with a dash of cut-up acapella action before giving it pride of place over a touchy-feely, stripped back deep house-meets-garage groove. If anything, it's even more instantly addictive than the original version, and that takes some doing.
