This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No wonder so much contemporary dance music is so kaleidoscopically over the top; it has to compete with all the whirling lights, laser shows, bells and whistles of the disco floor.
But London DJ duo Dynamic Syncopation don’t play that, homey. Johnny Cuba and Loop Professor take a less-is-more approach on this debut full-length. Their laid-back, after-hours sound leaves you plenty of room to groove — tunes float along on sparse, head-nodding rhythms and soulfully funky bass lines, with only the occasional rhyming rapper, moaning diva, skillful scratch or oddball sample to keep you from drifting off on their magic carpet of sound. All the lasers in discoland can’t compete with that.
