The first release from Todd Sines in 4 years. Featuring vocalist Natacha Labelle, it’s a collision of house, techno, funk and more… underwater pads + organs, throat-like noises and breathy, seductive vocals from Ms. Labelle. Todd Sines comments: “Painstakingly crafted over the course of 4 years, these tracks were individually recorded in 4 different studios in Toronto and New York, with a variety of obstacles to overcome. The transition from Mac OS9 to OSX, Logic to Live, Mac to PC, PC to Mac, Live to Logic, 48.1 to 320 kps MP3 to 44.1khz, analogue to digital, digital to analogue; not to mention 4 major relationships, a few flings, a few intercontinental flights and 6 different apartments. This EP is a testament to the hardships Mr. Sines and his loyal cats have endured over the last 4 years. Thankfully, we have the internet and MySpace.”

DJ MAG (UK) Giles Smith: “Much more like it! Here's forthcoming review from DJ: TODD SINES - BROAD BAND (Frankie) 4.5* Super slick ep from Mr Sines which fits very nicely into the labels sound which always manages to combine, deep, jackin and minimal influences. "Rives Gauche" is totally off the wall with its fat beats, darn right weird synth stabs and cut n paste groove . "In_Come" is probably my favourite here with its lo-fi, yet tight, crisp groove, slick heads down drum programming and moodymanesque bassline. "Thick Satin" a recent favourite of Magda and Troy Pierce's is surprisingly the most groovy and accesible here with its warm breathy female vocal and bumpin feel. Last up "Elastiq" is probably the most experimental here with its dub inspired drums, deep chords and crazy production tricks.”
DJ T: “The A2-Track does it for me!”
