Cass & Mangan - Shoes EP

  • Share
  • A duo that have been making headlines of late are Cass & Mangan. A firm favourite of the Tiefschwarz duo, Cass & Mangan unite to unleash their latest release, the Shoes EP on the mighty Fine imprint. I Love Your Shoes is first up, and it is a pretty strong and upbeat production. A deep and sinister bassline gives it a good drive as does a quirky and unique set of vocals. The musical aspects work very well with the vocals, shifting tones and changing shape as the vocal develops making this a vibrant and unique production. Green Eggs & Ham follows, and it is a sinister and addictive production it must be said. The bassline is purely brilliant, and the vocal is haunting and eerie. The track grows as it progresses, becoming more intense and dirty as it goes along, and it must be said that this is a dancefloor only production as it is sure to do some damage. The Dub of I Love Your Shoes is thankfully not just a vocal less version of the Original, rather it has a different vibe altogether. The track flows forcefully with a nice looped acid like riff and some more dirty low end rumbles. To be honest, it is a fantastic production and it has a very nice uplifting feel to it throughout. I Gotta Thang (Uh Huh) is a less intense production that really showcases the diverse sounds that this duo are capable of. A much smoother production that the rest of the EP, it is a delicate house production using some pretty soulful vocals and some nice piano lines. I must say that this is a very impressive EP, and it really showcases the combined talents of these two quality producers.
