Todd Osborne covers a lot of ground on this new album, which I'd moreso call a collection of tracks all in different styles of dancefloor music. I guess the overarching sound here is house, but it's all different forms of it, with echoes of techno, downtempo, breakbeat, latin, electropop and more. Osborne might be better known in Jungle circles as Soundmurderer, but he's far from that sound here. Some of the sounds are very old school (especially his collab with Ed DMX), but Todd manages to keep things fresh as well, and it's the collision of all these elements and the overall variety that makes thsi record special. "Downtown" and "Air Pistol" are some of the best dancefloor tunes I've heard in a while, and they're completely different. A must-have for fans of dance music.
