Dance Mafia Russian Federation Vinyl & CDs

Review: The Dance Mafia has united once again for more militant techno vibes from the Russian Federation. This is a third outing from this label and another one with plenty of charms as well as real dancefloor clout. 'Thick 'n' Scary' kicks off with a mix of punchy drums but sleazy vocal sounds. 'So Phat-Phat' (Vocawlz) is dusty, lo-fi and menacing stripped-back house with ghetto overtones and 'Errrybody' (Cheesebomb Rmx) is another one with nice frayed edges and lived-in grooves that pair function with form to great effect. Closing out this useful EP is 'So Phat-Phat' (Duuubb) which is one for the heads.
