DONT STOP

Yore Records

YRE007

Info:

Earlier This Year, Todd Sines Inaugurated Yore With The Slamming Techno-funk Of The .xtrak Release Back_up Ep And Now Returns For Round Two With Dont Stop. Without Losing The Stripped-down, Minimal Tech-house Funk Essence Of The .xtrak Sound, Sines Ups The Acid-house Ante Considerably In The New Material. The Old-school Title Cut Makes An Immediately Vivid Impression By Repeating The Insistent Vocal Hook >dont Stop<-both Command And Mantra-over A Towering Backbeat. >cut To The Chase< Does Exactly That With Funky Handclaps And Syncopated Swing, While The B-sides Low-riding >unreflect< Pairs Dropouts And Bass-crawling Boogie. Slightly Different In Character, The Squiggly Acid-techno Track >quantum Mechanics< Is As Precision-tooled As Its Title Suggests. Despite The Subtle Shift In Stylistic Emphasis, Dont Stop Offers A Splendid Complement To The Earlier Release
