Review: Say 'Rotterdam' to most electronic music lovers and the first thing they'll think of is likely to be gabber and other harder techno styles. Now, in a bid to challenge that stereotype, Boogie Cafe bring us a six-track EP showcasing "the more soulful, jazz-influenced sound emerging in the city". What that means in practice is six broken beat/nu-jazz cuts, coming by and large from the more dancefloor-friendly, less noodly end of the spectrum with Sykes' 'No Way' playing us out on a slightly more dreamy, midtempo note. Dikkens' 'The List' stands out, just for the untoward use to which it puts a Bananarama vocal!
