They Came To Play EP

A 4 track boom bap/nineties ep (17m 44s) — released August 16th 2009 on Nana Records

Following the runaway success of the project's first 12" on Nana Records, the collaborations have been coming in heavy and fast for one of the scene's top talents Kid Circus, in the form of his Coolhurst project. With club-renowned DJ Emskee on lyrical duties, "They Came To Play" is Coolhurst in proper party mode. A tried and tested dancefloor burner with a new edge, it's the perfect outing of snappy breaks meeting good-times tunes, with true old school block-party rhymes, effortlessly made to move bodies as only a future classic can. Making full use of respected session drummer Hamish Balfour and underground NY rap legend Substantial, "Dance" showcases the enviable depth Coolhurst achieves so well. Reminiscent of an early Capitol A in a Sylk 130 cut, the live drums and smooth rhymes add to the soul of the flawless production that makes Coolhurst what it is. Focussing on the deep-house and Latin- roots of the project, "Sam's Revenge" is a production-beat based groove monster, that brings around one of the most memorable and unique horn parts of all time! Coupled with incredible layering and arrangement from Kid Circus, this is a return to the essence of Coolhurst smacked up to an unprecedented level.
