A little more moody and minimal from me, I love the percussion in this track, you\u2019ll never hear a track from me without a ton of congas and bongos. I also love the vocal and the fact it\u2019s 128bpm, my current favourite bpm. Very groovy, very smooth, very me!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tino \u2013 \u2018Tinto!\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>I love this whole EP from Tino on Garrett David\u2019s Global Swing label, but this track in particular I think has really special elements. Again great percussion and really nice use of vocal samples and vocal fx to create a really cool groover. This track in particular stands out for me with the Latin drum breaks, and really dramatic piano and stabs, it really is just cool as fuck. I am a Tino Stan and proud!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scarlett\u00a0O\u2019Malley\u00a0\u2013 \u2018Juice Break\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Another one from me but I feel like \u2018Juice Break\u2019 is really doing the rounds again recently with a lot of my favourite DJs playing it out so big special mention to my baby!
