Circoloco Vinyl & CDs

Review: Two years since it smashed onto the scene, Circoloco records, the love child of GTA creators Rockstar Games and dance event legends Circoloco seemed like a match made in heaven. It was. After the release of Map.ache's hypnotic single 'IZA', the Giegling collective take over in full force for the hotly anticipated 'ANYWAY' EP - CLR005. Launching exclusively on vinyl for a limited time, the five-track showcases the group's sophistication and forward-thinking approach to underground dance music, with entries from Giegling artists The Ghostbusters, Edward, Leafar Legov, Adi, and Map.ache.

Review: In a break from their usual program, Circoloco look to Chicago and the rising star that is NEZ. Previously spotted last year on Three Six Zero alongside Felix Da Housecat, now NEZ throws down three varied cuts that show he's one to keep tabs on. First up comes 'You Wanna?', a pumped up peak time house cut with our man upfront inciting the dancefloor to come alive. 'Let's Get It' drops down into trap mode with Schoolboy Q jumping on the mic, and then the B side turns the heat up with the mighty Moodymann and Gangsta Boo chipping in to create a party monster in 'Freaks'. Skip this one at your peril.
