Sam Binga/Addison Groove - Bags Inc [2LP]

Bristol's Sam Binga and Addison Groove have been friends and collaborators since their 2013 BS3 EP, released on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons imprint. This project, the third full-length on Binga's Pineapple Records, is born from an intense 72-hour session at the legendary Devon Analogue Studios, where the pair were able to explore their mutual love of up-tempo machine funk -- whether that be Detroit Jit, Chicago Boxjams or Turbo Electro. Three days of intense creativity across classic drum machines, vintage analogue synths and rare hardware effects resulted in a collection of raw but powerful audio building blocks -- and the pair have been gradually shaping them into what is now a complete project -- the Bags Inc album. Across 12 tracks, Binga and Addison explore that exciting space between 140 and 150 bpm -- but while it's fast, it's not "hard"; as you'd expect from the creators, it's still got that wiggle, and the all-important cheekiness for which they're known. Mastered by Bob Macc at SC Mastering and cut at the Sony plant in Europe, the album has immersive and musical detail to warrant deep listening, while maintaining that essential club energy.
