scruniversal tunes 002
Francisco Espregueira
The non-stop creative entrepreneurship of DJ and producer Anton Bogomolov (also known by his expansive moniker Scruscru) made him create Scruniversal, a special label to showcase artists that fit into the realm of groovy and jazzy deep house that he has accustomed us to. Scruniversal Tunes 002 compiles a track from Scruscru himself, along three originals from up and coming producers.
Russian duo Street Choice gets us sweating right from the beginning with “Still On Is MF Record”, a glorious collision of house, disco and US garage overseen by an incredible sample work on Moodyman’s words. Feeling a bit more mellow, Scruscru offers up a flute mix of “Long & Sleepless Nights”, evoking jazzier french house scenesters like Etienne de Crecy or St Germain. On the flip, Juravlove's “Boys & Girls” ups the tempo and mood again with a nasty acid line sneaking in behind more organic instrumentation. The more reflective Nephews' “Polo Blanco” brings things to a warm, more snuggly close, ultimately leaving us with an EP that has heaps of variety and quality in equal measures. Available on vinyl, Scruniversal Tunes 002 keeps our eyes peeled to what Scruniversal will be offering in the near future.
