Metroline’s answer to Agent Dale Cooper, Rio Padice, stroll nonchalantly into town in search of some damn fine coffee, and in return, delivers another stunning four track EP.
One Eyed Jacks is a straight up, Strictly Rhythm-style monster. Remember the days when Armand Van Helden was hot? When all you needed to make a pounder was a 909, an AKAI sampler and some old jazz records? Here at Metroline, we look back on those days through misty-eyes… And have to thank Rio for bringing them back with his own, thoroughly new twist.
Northwest Passage is a warm, rolling house groove, perfect for terrace on a hot summer night. A deep, beat-down bass synth undulates under a simple percussion groove creating a track with incredible movement and groove.
Masked Ball has a kick-in-the-gut bassline that, dropped at the right time and place, is guaranteed to raise the roof. Rich, warm and with a huge punch, Masked Ball is one of those track that will have you begging the bassline to stay forever.
Chekmate takes things in a slightly dubbier direction. But unlike a lot of other tracks of that ilk, this one is pacey and punchy. Despite its bowel-moving bass, it has more in common with an epic King Britt workout than it does with Rhythm & Sound.
