Brooklyn hero Drop The Lime dusts off the deep crimson cowl of alter ego Curses! and killed the yearly race to “Best EP” before it’s even started. With his first Institubes records, Hungry for Love, had established Curses! as a master of early nineties dance. The Deep End will be something of a suprise for some of the bass-heads: it is a song, with Maggie Horn diva-ing over a fluid but heavy mix of beats, effects, piano and guitar, featuring the meanest Morricone riff of recent memory.
And check out “Moss Man” on the flip for serious dancefloor assault. Heavy bass shines eternal.
In a once-in-a-lifetime meeting of the super-exclamatory dance heros, DFA stars Holy Ghost! fully actualize the disco potential of the song, turning it into an eight-minute workout, with Nancy Whang providing additional vocals.
Bart B More needs no introduction, the man is electro-house incarnate. And for a funkier take on turning the world upside down, check out his dub mix.

This release has been out for a few months now, but thats no reason to ignore one of this year's trully stellar EPs. It's available on Itunes and any good record store.
