Review: A bona fide summer smash for every DJ lucky enough to get it before release, this is the result of Benny Page's recent Jamaican adventure. Teaming up with dancehall mic maestro Assassin, Benny lowers his tempo to a rifle-like 140 breakbeat riddim to create an instant sing-along smasher. Anthemic without being over-the-top. Dark without being too heavy, Benny has smashed this one to pieces, and now you can too.
Review: Frankfurt-based label Connaisseur Recordings precede their third instalment of their Grand Cru compilation, due out at the end of this month, with a three track taster courtesy of Of Norway, DJ Assassin and Martin Beume. Of Norway's "Skogen Kaller" opens the release will a skippy jaunt through contented minimal, tech house. Its hook is the strange melody parts that play out above the simple yet feet-tapping beat. DJ Assassin's "Deep Riddim" is a deep and dubby swagger amongst walls of bass and Martin Beume delves into to some tingling atmospherics on "Mainspring."
