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….

Fast rising London producer Bxentric releases his latest EP 'Sakura Fall'. Having previously released on Eskimo Recordings and Glasgow Underground, 'Sakura Fall' is the third release from his own label Nanda Records. A man with a clear love for creativity, explores the mythical realm of techno with rolling beats and surging grooves.

Title track 'Sakura Fall' is an addictive, hypnotic dark heater that is sure to tingle your senses with exquisite elements within. 'Afon' is as equally glorious, with a melodic and calming undertow and experimental percussive overlay. The Matt Karmil version of 'Sakura Fall' rounds off this package in solid fashion, magnifying the percussive elements of the original, weaving in vocal stabs and countering rhythms.

Sakura Fall has already received airplay on B.Traits' Friday night BBC Radio 1 show and support from Joris Voorn, Baikal, Andre Hommen and Kollektiv Turmstrasse. Since going in his own direction, Bxentric has gone from strength to strength!

Full release on limited vinyl and digital 17.02.2017.
