SAINE & SMITH
DIRTY GAMES (2MR)
Hailing from Stockholm's fertile electronic music scene, Saine & Smith - aka Jaja Saine and Leo Smith - are a duo exploring diasporic strands of leftfield dance music.
Their second release - the Dirty Games EP - is a diverse package of soul-tinged house employing a range of styles into one cohesive sound.Across six tracks, the duo meander through jazzy chords, infectious basslines and swung percussion with a subtle hint of dub.
At once hedonistic and reflective, their constructions brandish a careful blend of dancefloor function and cerebral stimulation.From the glistening melody and chugging percussion of the title track to the deep, hazy chords of `Rasta 116' via the high energy angular structures of `Moon Monsters', the Dirty Games EP offers a truly broad spectrum of ideas presented in fully fledged, radiant colour.
