'With their second vinyl release of 2013 Goon Club Allstars continue to carve out their own space in club-focused music, with Mssingno’s haunting debut 12” EP pitting cold, melodic synths and deftly cut vocal samples against growling basslines and off-kilter drum patterns. As well as being responsible for the huge ‘Brandy Flip’, a track played out across radio and clubs through 2013, last year the London-based producer scored some deserved attention producing ‘Drugs Don’t Work’ for masked Tottenham MC Cas (formerly Castro). His icy, romantic flip of ‘The Verve’ tune of the same name provided the ideal backdrop for a rare glimpse into Cas’ self-inflicted weaknesses and here proves to be just as effective at stirring the emotions without the aid of a vocal narrative.

Whether he’s toying with the slick ‘n’ sensual, as is unashamedly evident on the heated 808-driven opener ‘Skeezers’, or bittersweet quasi-R&B twisters on one of the year’s more unlikely watery-eyed earworms ‘XE2’, Mssingno’s first excursion on wax is earnestly dedicated to the feels; all of them. Case in point: ‘XE3’s weary-hands-in-the-air sunrise synths juxtaposed perfectly by ‘124th’s hood-up cap-down gulliness.

It may be a dangerously well-trodden arena, blending bold synths with pitch-bended vocals, but few producers in the last few years can hold a candle to Mssingno’s craftsmanship and knack for progression. Simply put, Mssingno is one of those rare ones, the ones that leave a mark and his debut serves as a bold statement of intent for both himself, and the rest of the Goons.'

LYRICS

Smoke hangs from my mouth, as the clouds come rolling out
In the moonless night I find, I’m a wonderin'
Her name hangs on my mind, it's pointless trying not to pine
In the moonless night I find, it's a thunderin'

When the sun is at my shoulder, and all of this is over
I know that I'll be fine - but for the time being
I wanna get outside my mind, I want back the lost time

I want back the lost
I want back the lost time

I always find myself here, at this time of the year
In the day old summer, my hands are never at home
The harder that you hope, the harder it is to cope
In the day old summer, does the month of May have to be so cruel?

I wanna get outside my head, I wanna fall asleep instead
I wanna get outside of my mind, I want back the lost time

I’ve got a couple more wasted tries - under my belt, no surprise
What am I supposed to do? Where do I go after this, can you tell me?
Give me some direction please - I swear I’ll try anything
I just wanna be back at square one
