| Monkey Bars do it again, this time with the bittersweet intro EP to their new funk/disco house series. With its soulful vocal hook and dark, drummy, pounding filtered cyber-funk, Dark Traffic will most definitely get your palette nice and wet. Keeping things robust but a bit spicier is Kalifornian, a wild, complex, yet hooky song featuring both vocoded male and straight-up female vocals. Flip over for Lafreek, which features a bluesy keyboard riff, razor-sharp drums, and an irresistible bassline. And to complete this big bad box of sweets is Necessarily Evil, which is without a doubt one of the most unique pieces of highly danceable house music ever produced, combining techy drums, tough keyboard stabs, avant-garde classical strings, complex jazzy melodies and a truly shocking breakdown. |
