Darius Syrossian – ‘My Side Project EP’ – (Mile End Records)

This has the word summer clearly emblazoned all over it! Clever idea resurrecting Third World’s timely message and ultra-funk groove for this destined to be heard everywhere number: My Side Project. But, it’s not just the loop that feels hot here as clever drum programming and hooky stabs all get the party going too. Next ‘1994 Session’ digs deeper with pulsating bass and slinky rhythms working the tension alongside frisky acid lines, which are complimented by a Butler & Murt remix that eases the elements into something altogether chunkier.
