Review: Ruben & Ra welcome the combined talents of Slow It Down and Elijah Collins (last seen cutting up old disco hits on Mullet) for an EP of thickset electrofunk-meets-house floorfillers. Lead cut "Alright" sets the tone, coming on like a knowing homage to the pioneering boogie-sampling loop-house of Tiger & Woods. "I Don't Need", seemingly a re-cut of an old Jam & Lewis production, breaks up the beats impressively, while "Tramadol Boogie" loops up some particularly rubbery p-funk grooves. There are two reworks of the title track to sink your teeth into, too. Of these, it's Collins' own Elijah Dub that most impresses, rising and falling with all the glee of an MDMA-fuelled night out.
