Everyone's favourite Portsmouth residents (and let's face it, there ain't many to choose from *) return with another quality two tracker on Traffic, now established as one of the best Hard Dance labels out there.
First up is the Tidy Boys-caned 'This Life', a rompastomp into the darker world of hard dance. With a great vocal hook as its main focus, this one sits perfectly in Scott & Jim's new style of thrashing hard dance, but complimented with a great hands-in-the-air melody and enough happy elements to keep you smiling throughout. 2 Tech are the first to step up on remix duties, working the original into a huge rolling tech-groove, sure to find favour with those who were all over the 'Live For The Weekend' release out on Traffic not long ago. For downloaders, a bonus Electro Mix is on offer, which pretty much does what it says on the tin, but shows off the production prowess of the pairing and their ability to manipulate into various genres. A handy Acapella completes the package which operates around a 2 minute loop - extremely useful for DJs and one which I've certainly been blasting out over the past few weeks in my sets.
But the real joy of this release? B side 'Attitude'. Now, this is noisy. Very, very noisy. But is it banging? You betcha it is. One of the better tunes to come from the pair in recent times, this will send your dancefloors crazy with its nagging synth lines, high-pitched noises and general 'get-up-and-have-it' feel. With Lisa Lashes all over this one like it was going out of fashion, you'll be in good hands when cueing it up to play.
Another top two tracker from the Traffic boys and one to hunt down immediately.
