Total Darkness - Therapy

Old Monster

Casino Times debut on Futureboogie after a handful of stellar releases, most notably for London based Needwant Recordings, and Wolf Music.  The duo of Nicolas Church and Joseph Spencer show us just why they’re steadily building a reputation for themselves with this four tracker.

Opening up with ‘Used To Be’, the smooth production and absorbing electronics deliver a classy, late night floor filler.  With all the depth of, say, a classic Carl Craig joint, and deft melodic touches rippling through its duration, it’s a sound that’s prevalent throughout the rest of the EP.  The jazzy overtones on ‘Turn A Blind Eye’ reveal a real musicality and sophistication, normally reserved for stalwarts of the scene like Larry Heard, yet Casino Times produce house music with plenty of head space and dubbed out moments.  

Tempos are ramped up on ‘Weathered Walls’, as is the distortion, as rolling snares and urgent piano stabs pair against a raw and minimal beat, the enveloping pads bringing warmth if abundance to this warehouse gem.  Wrapping up this very impressive EP is ‘Still’, a masterful arrangement of woody percussion, wandering keys and dubby FX, coming over like a long lost Nu Groove record for the next generation.

On the strength of ‘Lower Level Sounds’, we expect to hear a lot more from Casino Times over the coming year….

MELTING INSIDE

Digital Noise Academy (DNA) is a group of six like-minded musicians who like making awesome music together. This is essentially a dream project for the six, busy music professionals, that make up DNA with three full-time music producer/mixers, one solo artist, and two band members. 

DNA is a collaborative project and ultimately, that is how the release of Synemy came to be -- as a result of a successful Kickstarter campaign where three of the rewards actually included making music with the band.
