uk house/disco duo casino times are happy to announce the first in a brand new series of hand stamped, limited italo/disco edits curated or produced by the fun loving boys themselves. casino times have been releasing their own brand of catchy, neatly swung, dance floor ready disco and house on labels like wolf music and needwant. it is not often that an artist can be defined by such a distinctive sound whilst still maintaing a varied and extremely open minded approach to music production and djing. no two of their tracks are similar, yet somehow you will be sure you are listening to a casino times song before it reaches the chorus. their productions sit so comfortably on that precarious boundary that so many artists struggle to sit, while they are emotionally charged they are also extremely dance floor friendly and are as fun as they are provoking. the first in the series (casino edits 001) comes courtesy of the london based duo themselves and is testament to what the series intends to achieve… limited hand stamped copies.
