Scruscru – Boss Of The Coast EP

The very first vinyl release from Blur Records features eclectic, talented Russian DJ and producer Scruscru, dropping a quartet of funky disco tracks on his brand new EP entitled ‘Boss Of The Coast’. The title track kicks proceedings off, a fluttering flute holding sway over a nicely retro disco/house hybrid groove, before ‘Frog Business’ drops the mood to a more relaxed, chilled tempo, with smooth pianos, vocal snippets and languid jazzy brass embellishing the beat. ‘Juicy Brass’ is the EP’s proper brassfest, as well as being blessed with a bouncing bassline and percussive frills, before ‘Lucky Piper’ sees us off with its irresistible bassline, smooth guitar riffs and more of those jazz-inspired flutes. One for fans of the early Talking Loud or Acid Jazz releases, perhaps, although it’s hard to imagine anyone with a penchant for cutting a rug being able to turn this one down.
