Review: It's the third edition of Cabin Pressure Recording's Shedits series, which means we're involved with Daytoner laying down some utter truth in the form of blissfully raw dance edits spanning everything from 60s soul to 90s trip hop. "Apache Street" features that mythical break in action amid some ludicrously addictive singing, while "Moonstomping" goes off on a little ska trip, "Feel It" provides us with a gorgeous example of UK 90s house at its most break-heavy, and "I Feel It Like That" is the sexy sister of the bunch, a seductive soul excursion tailor made for the lovers. Bliss.
Review: A UK producer intent on perfecting the ultimate retro sunkissed sounds, Daytoner has been holed up in his studio fine-tuning the follow-up to 2012's Sunburst Radio. A recent stopgap EP saw the producer dabble with some re-edits, but the 13 new cuts on Synchronicity are all his own work. Highlights of the LP include the flute-laden, fruity funk of opener "Sauce Of The Nile", the saxy, Rhodesy disco glam of "Halo Moon" and the lounge-beats and cloud-of-pot-smoke that is "Half A Mansfield Please". A quality return from this elusive musician.
Review: Should you want to turn your place into a swinging cantina let Beatnik City's first release of The Latin Leaks be your soundtrack, and slam those tequila's to "Uhh! Ahh". There's some sampled Wu Tang thrown in among a clamour of drums in "Shimmy Cumbia", while tempos are lowered in "Lift Ma Soul". For some electro-swing vibes check out "Golden Boy" and get tropical on "Real Smooth". Consider your next fiesta sorted!
Review: A shady character perversely in love with the light of 1960s production, Daytoner dispatches his retro bursts of American sunshine from his English shed. "Treat Me" appears to be concealing a cheeky bassline sample of The Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself (or similar) over which Lucy Richards lays down an impressive Aretha-style vocal. On remixes duties, Suonho turns out a stomping disco-funk version while Tenoshi opts for a good times ska-tinged workout.
Review: Daytoner is a mysterious producer who resides in the far west of England and is obsessed with perfecting his vision of 60s-tinged sunshine music from his studio shed. This album features 15 tracks of warm, familiar, feel-good tunes, the highlights of which include the euphoric R&B-soul of "Little Soul", the retro bossa nova of "Benz Bargin Bin Bossa", the gentle "From The Root To The Fruit", the Motown-esque "Treat Me" and "Tell The World" which quite frankly sounds like the theme to retro TV show, Taxi!
