An EP packed with percussive grooves that are tailor-made for strutting your stuff in the sunshine

With the BPM festival well underway over in sunny Mexico, those of still stuck here at home in cold, rainy Britain will just have to console ourselves with this seven-track sampler from Leftwing & Kody's Lost Records.

Tuff, rolling tech-house grooves are the order of the day generally here, coming from a mix of artists both fairly well-known (Timo Garcia, Raffa FL & Ruben Mandolini, Vidaloca & Piem) and somewhat less so (Caal & Baum, Ian Jay & Matt Williams, Kreature, Eskuche & Nu Sky ft Nathan Kersaint). That's not to say there's no variety on offer, though, with standout tracks including the throbbing acid nouveau of Eskuche & Nu Sky's The Moment, Raffa FL & Mandolini's fierce, drummy Hot Girls and Vidaloca & Piem's more funk-fuelled Blow with its gloriously old skool piano stabs.

If you're looking for some fresh ammo for tougher house floors, you won't go far wrong here.

Review Score: 8
