Finger Lickin’ rarely miss a beat when it comes to breaks, and you only have to look back through their history of over 100 releases to see that each record is a genuine classic.

The Drumattic Twins have been responsible for quite a lot of those as well as a few big rave anthems under their previous moniker Shades of Rhythm, and with this slice cut from their forthcoming album they’ve really turned up the heat.

What stands out on this record is their attention to the current musical climate, and how they’ve managed to blend it all together with their characteristic electronic breakbeat sound.

The bass is nasty and squelchy, reminiscent of the bassline influence currently dominating the scene, whilst the beats roll across a 4/4 rhythm section comprising of cow bells, high end snares and disco stabs.

With Breakspoll just around the corner, this surely could be contender for record of the year, but let’s not get overly dramatic - this is a well produced, high energy, funk-laden breaks record that will in no doubt be a worthy addition to the throbbing pulse of beats already present on this omnipotent label.
