Sam Groove - Top Back

Not sure which drew me in more, the BIJOU repost or the GTA: Vice City-esque album art. No matter, the booty bass of Phoenix's Sam Groove and "Top Back" is sure to garner plenty of airtime whether driving with windows sealed and the heat blasting, or windows down, if it ever gets warm enough for that again. Hell, it'll probably get plenty of plays while I'm just walking, which will inevitably turn into a strut. Not only is the album art reminiscent of this standout game of yesteryear, musically it delivers a perfect mix of classic rave vibes with the great g-house grooves dominating the moment. The lasers and other effects lap like waves on the rocky shore that is the unshakable bass. And while the bass may be banging, it's nothing without the slews of stupid good percussion that slap, clap, snap, rattle and shake to perfection. It's quite clear throughout that Sam Groove knows how to knock off some killer cuts, but in the drops especially does his mastery shine through.
