Dukes of Sluca Tournament EP

• Words: Ron Nachmann
• Label: Joia

This tech-edged plate from Stockholm, Sweden brings on some good, feverish party grooves. Old-school hip-hop vocal samples collide with funky synthwork on the churning "Don't Stop," while a nicely filtered upper-register synth anchors the urgently spacey "Steam Machine." Ignore the corny, mid-'80s electro-disco of "Always Searching" and you'll be in business.
