Cody Currie - Lucas [Toy Tonics]

Toy Tonics are a real favourite – their house is always fresh, never cheap and often with a real link to the past. Next up, they have London's Cody Currie delivering his first full length album. Lucas is a wide-ranging, enjoyable work that kicks off with some of the broken beat the UK capital is so well known for, before moving through a loose funk house on 'Money', percussive and soulful vibes as on 'Red Hot' and slow, sensuous grooves in the shape of 'That Stick'. And that is just the A-side of the first record, with another three to come that are just as good.
