Joshua Ryan

Don’t Look Back

Slinkey/Rampant

“Don’t Look Back” is the third single for Slinkey and it’s a wickedly intoxicating track. Three strong mixes to choose from, all of which build on that afterhours melody that works so well on a crowd. Up first is Mr. Funkster himself, Paul Grogan’s “Twister remix.” Joshua’s mix is of the pumpy str8 beat nature, a different sort of beast. The label side is by the X Cabs, aka Chris Cowie of Hook Recordings. Think Taylor, Evolution, Fluid and all those incredible UK labels that have made millions see stars above every meaningful dancefloor scattered about the globe. A better record you’ll not find. Honest! Rampant, 1447 12th St., Suite D, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266; http://www.rampant.com
