About this item
Full expanded 12" from Tuff City Kids who gift us three new tunes with numerous remixes to keep us hooked from to finish!
"R-Zoner" gets us underway with 'nuff bleeps n bass to keep ya average Sheffield old skooler happy. Wrapping it up in a slick and highly kinetic groove that's as crisp as it is sticky. Nice!
"Jungle Raver" is a moody, piano-led number with another big bassline to test the subs. Add a 90s-themed flute melody and you've got a nice slice of retrotastic warehouse music, perfect for as we edge towards the mid-session. (No idea why it's called "Jungle Raver" tho - Ed). The track gets remixed by Down-E Mix 2 who keeps the heady and rose-tinted spirit of the original intact as they inflict their own smiley-based influences onto the track.
Onto the B-side and the tribal and slightly proggy "Nrg Zone" gets aired out proper across three high impact versions; our favourite of which is the "Happy Again" mix which sounds like vintage Nexus meets Deepdish!
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: TCK deliver an e-soaked, high energy set that has main room written all over it. Laser guided fun for all with big drops and bigger beats.
