sccucci manucci once again proves its dancefloor chops with its fifth release, the cinquemila lire ep, which sees the london based imprint curl its moustache in the direction of deep house. manchester based duo toyboy & robin open proceedings with >no more sunshine<, an insouciant mix of soulful vocals, shuffling garage percussion and burning deep house organ stabs. it is a heady, intoxicating mix, and it is one that is matched on the a-side by sahin meyers effort, the husband and wife duo turn in the gorgeous >spread love<, a cut that wrings every last drop of emotion out of a classic, drummy arrangement. flip over for >saif< by illyus, a twinkling late night excursion into melodic, star gazing house, and >feel love< by firas, one half of the waze & odyssey, who rounds off another killer sccucci 12-inch with raw-thentic smacky beats and an addictive loopy vocal and bassline.
