Red Stars Over Tokyo

GoldFFinch / The Light Comes

After dope releases on Numbers, Saigon, Audio Culture and most recently Dirty Bird, Brussels-based duo GoldFFinch are back with a triple-bomb EP on Twin Turbo.

Turbo has always had a great vibe with Belgians, and the love affair continues with this EP... just what the A&R Doctor ordered: no-bullshit, not-at-all annoying, reliable as fuck tracks to play for almost any crowd. This kind of music makes all our jobs easy.

In case you like reading shitty muso-descriptions of tracks, here you go: 'The Light Comes' is a tightly crafted club smasher, a functional blueprint for how to build an understated crossover hit: short deep-house vocal sample, UK-ready / massive bass, and a sleek tech-house groove mixed to perfection. 'The Beast' applies a similarly slick beat but opts for a trippier top-line with spaced vox and pads. Finally, 'Ward Off' builds on a hypnotic arp line with a little spastik-esque snare roll, and voila, another winner.

It's no wonder taste-onados like Mary Anne Hobbs, Claude Von Stroke, and Jackmaster all be chirpin...

Canblaster

The long awaited Infinite EP is finally out, and this is my personal favorite from the EP if you didn't guess from the previous rip. Such a great EP, Canblaster is worthy of your attention.
