kowton: shuffle good

One of the UK's most distinctive dance music producers presents a pair of drowned summer anthems backed by a warehouse-crushing Andy Stott remix. Joe Cowton deals out some super squashed swagger and aquatic drones on "Shuffle Good" and hollowed, arcane dub pressure on "EFX01" -- a regular scene setter in Ben UFO sets. Stott really delivers on the B-side, re-modeling "Shuffle Good" with nods to the sort of darkside D&B rinsed by Grooverider circa '96-'97 and the feedback fuzz reminiscent of Suicide or Powell.
