Sweet 16 is a perfectly judged slice of disco punk, producer Grahmzilla hooking up a beat which sounds like the Clash hanging out at Studio 54 while Isis tells of the joys and dangers of being sixteen and ruling the dancefloor. Its not clear whether the natural stage genius (Time Out) is encouraging under age sex, cautioning against it or just suggesting engaging in some healthy exhibitionism. Whatever the message she makes it sound great. Cruise Low is as low slung and bass heavy as you d expect from the title, Isis whispering about popping the trunk with a mixture of enticement and threat. Bonus track Whateveruneed is an epic instrumental electro symphony from Grahmzillas hard drive. NY mover and shaker Eli Escobar rounds out the package with a mix of Sweet 16 which harks all the way back to Planet Rock...
