"Slime Recordings should be held aloft as a shining example of how digital record labels should run" - Loudat

"Always a haven for upcoming talent, Slime Recordings continue to generate heat" - Juno Download


Slime is back to the future once again to provide you with more incredible music for your aural delectation. This time we head to Sweden and welcome to the label a very talented producer by the name of Totte. Master of many styles, Totte has served up Slime with two ultra fresh joints that will have all garage heads drooling.

'Restless' has been on heavy rotation as a digital dub for quite a while now and has picked up a lot of heat on the garage scene. It's not hard to see why either - it doesn't sound anything like garage. Sweeping in on a super sweet Sixties doo-wop vocal, it rolls out into a smooth 2-step flex that flows over the soulful vibes. Along the way there's enough switches, drops and melodic interplay to keep you engaged right to the end - a garage classic in the making.

'Communication' brings proceedings bang up to date with a bumpy club roller, all rugged beats and chilled-out keys. A perfectly placed vocal hook insists throughout over a bass-fuelled finesse that will keep dancefloors jumping for hours.

That's a cool one!
I really love it! Before one of my faves were such tracks as Light Beams and Gold. The other are good as well.
Could I download that? Would be great to set it at our small home party this Friday ;-)

Out everywhere from Monday.

In the meantime check this awesome review of the EP from the Darkfloor crew:
From years of working in a kitchen with a mad, Sicilian and The Shangri-Las obsessed chef, it’s a bit of a surprise to hear a messed up sample of them at their best open the title track of Swedish producer Totte‘s garage release.

Even odder is that it unfolds into a soulful, deep two-step number. It’s not a smooth, overly preened version of garage however, layered as it is with bits of cut and paste vocals and melodies, avoiding that nice but empty feel some of the later two step efforts. Think classic Zinc, and you’re not too far off.

The flip, Communication, is a more blissed out affair. This time though, the cut and paste snippets detract from the flow, but its still the kind of thing I’d have loved to hear on an essential mix at 5am on the drive back from the club, with a wandering, warm bassline, organic key stabs and lush pads. Like Restless it has an old school vibe without sounding retro, which is always a plus, and although touted as a dancefloor track, this sits well in a post-club repertoire.
