Title:	717 EP
Label:	TSUBA (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	TSUBA 027EP

"Tsuba starts 2009 with a bang with the first 12" release on the label from rising star Okain. Having debuted on Tsuba in July 2008 on the digital only Tsuba Samurai EP, Sam Okain steps up with his first full release for the label and it's a big one. The original '717' is deep tech house with a killer groove and a warm tripped out riff -- a great combination of light and dark touches which results in an edgy but very accessible track. For the remix, D'Julz ups the tempo and adds a splash of techno, spine tingling keys and jacking bassline. Loco Dice featured the mix on his recent Radio 1 Essential Mix. The deep house of 'Slow Ride' completes an EP of the highest quality. Okain is a name you'll be hearing a lot more of during the course of 2009."
