House for the weekend
Trooko 'Don’t Work' (Reptile Dysfunction)
Trooko’s new ‘Don’t Work’ EP is being released on Doorly’s brilliantly named Reptile Dysfunction label. The title track sounds like Moodymann on too much Red Bull with its organic percussion, sincere chords, jazz breaks and distant guitar licks, while ‘True To Myself’ touches on disco, boompty, rap vocal snips, dark synths and syncopated drum fills. It’s then picked up by Doorly himself, who injects it with vintage cinema snips on his fun remix.
