Deekline & Wizard let go their latest speed racer on Krafty Kuts’ label. Along for the ride are Hadouken! and Navigator ragga-roughing up the driver’s seat – you might not remember a word of it, but they add to the thrill of the chase - and Yolanda providing soulful licks on the passenger side.
Dancehall Thrill has a familiar turn of pace about it from the pair – always going above and beyond the speed limit but, as D&W do, always holding the corners perfectly. Some distinguishing acoustic guitar and string work beamed from the Balkan regions is woven into the track’s fabric, just in case you need to take a breather/break out your best Kossak moves, held in place by that particular Deekline & Wizard ‘cleanliness’ that looks to do damage while ensuring there are no actual physical casualties.
Teaming up again with ever-game bassline conductor Top Cat – adding singsong DJ-aimed commands and looped catchphrases - Up for the Possee has more electro, arcade-bleepin’ spank to its armoury. A clompingly straightforward stride that’s a little more party-hardy, it’s a few BPMs down on its predecessor, still keeping its house in order. While the bottom end is definitely weighty, it still knows its boundaries, refusing to kick you when you’re on the way down. The pair’s usual professional product.
