VRRS – Split EP (House Crime Records)

The House Crime label debuts with this pearl of an EP by the new and exciting talents of Steven BC and VRRS. The duo come through dangerously correct with their first release, and “Functionz” is an instant hit, one of those tunes that has managed to find the perfect balance between drums and bass, melodies and vocals – a true old-school A-side for the heads. On the flip, “Utukmylife (On The Dancefloor)” is more speed garage than house, and the two producers pack another mean punch with this total banger; “House Will Remember”, on the other hand, is a real piece of Chicago magic, a classic US house anthem with a rolling pile of drums, a huge swarm of bass and the right level of tape distortion. Excellent.
