Review: United Arab Emirates imprint and party series Boogie Box follow up their debut release by the legendary Stephan Laubner with a dancefloor oriented EP by the Scotsman Cain. For those new to him, he is a regular on Huntleys & Palmers sub label Highlife Records and known for fusing his love of traditional music from around the world, by utilising innovative drum patterns. Cain jumped on the opportunity to dig for Arabic influenced drums and rhythms to build the EP around, for this Middle Eastern label that seem to be doing wonderful things in the Gulf region. In particular, "Rhazeer" and "Tengarra" will take you deep into the exotic with their elaborate and seductive percussion and respectful sampling of native folk music styles. "Barrigan", however, has a heavy hardware focus. This tough all analogue house jam is geared for late night madness! The wonderful closer "Lightwave" sounds like an Arabic version of Jamie Principle's "Our Love", enough said!
