Amazon Boogie - (5:23) 118 BPM
Review: Having initially started out making faster, D&B style beats, UK duo Kingsin have settled nicely into a more 2-step/technoid groove, as this exciting new EP on Sounds Of Sumo shows. The chilly minimal-step of "Amazon Boogie" is an entrancing opener, while "Come Find Me" is a creeped-out compression fest mixing Bernard Herrmann strings and lush tropical percussion at around 130 BPM. The title tune is pure UK bass goodness, in the mould of Ikonika or early Joy O, and the outstandingly icy "War Den" rounds off the set with a nod to their D&B roots - a gnarly, fast tech beat bubbling under a sub-sonic bass with loads of dubby vocals swirling around the mix for good measure.
