"Berkane Sol moves into a new decade with the future soul of 'Sugar Coated Lover'. Back in '08, Marita and Geiom blessed the dubstep scene with the certified classic 'Reminissin'.' This time they turn their radar towards the vibrant keys and soca style drumz of UK funky. Elements of disco, techno and house wrap themselves around Marita's delicious vocal, with a sweet synthy steel drum melody leading up to the seriously catchy hook. Marita and Geiom take the sounds of house music both old and new and create a sophisticated hybrid that joins the dots between producers like Todd Terry, Luomo and Roska. On the flip, the unstoppable Blunted Robots team of Brackles and Shortstuff take the raw elements off to their workshop, clear some space on the bench and begin to rebuild according to their own confused specifications. They fill the CPU of the new machine with the original data, a DJ EZ set and the best bits of early Search and Destroy -- after some extensive experimentation we find them both happily shockin' out -- until Shortstuff realizes that most of the vocal is missing and what's left is severely broken -- so they sprinkle on an extra helping of their sweetest arpeggios in the hope that Geiom doesn't notice. This 12" fits perfectly into the creative space that has opened up in UK underground dance music, taking ideas from garage, techno, dub, grime and house and melting them into exhilarating new forms. It has found favour with all the usual suspects including -- Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank (Radio1), Kode 9, Scratcha DVA, Oneman, Alexander Nut (RinseFM) and Untold."
