Rio Padice

Chi-town's in the house as Rio Padice returns with some vintage grooves for Metroline. Grooveapocalypse is a relentless Chicago builder with dominant hard-hitting hats, and nice filter work. Paypo cuts deeper, oozing with rich bass tones – a no-frills bouncing French Touch floorfiller. Locus! Circus! ramps up the retro factor. Its playful sound effects and rolling percussion brings a much-needed touch of classic Dan Hartman to the modern dancefloor. Moonbass is another deep cut. The tight Larry Heard bassline and bouncing kick is overlayed with airy, sweeping synths that are kept in check by sharp hats and nice round claps. Another strong release from Rio Padice,
