Cinthie - 803 Crystal Grooves 004

1. From The Vaults (05:44)
2. Jack Your Head Higher (05:54)
3. Boss Lady In A Men’s World (04:15)


Having impressed earlier in the year via the colossal ‘Bassline’ single and Skylines-City Lights album, Cinthie returns to her 803 Crystal Grooves record label with a trio of typically high-quality cuts. She begins in fine form via ‘From The Vaults’, a tough, chunky, bouncy and hypnotic techno number smothered in early Floating Points style synth chords and plenty of deep house nous, before reaching for sweaty, carefree drum machine grooves, sparkling piano riffs and low-slung bass on ‘Jack Your Head Higher’. As good as both are, our pick of the bunch is closing cut ‘Boss Lady in a Men’s World’, where short, disco-influenced electronics, mangled vocal samples and ragged acid-style motifs leap above a weighty, up-beat electro groove.
