Superconductor CD

Five years on from his last studio full-length excursion on Tokyo Dawn - the future jazz epic Voltage Controlled Feelings - Opolopo pops up on Z Records with the similarly impressive Superconductor. This time round, the Swedish producer is mining his boogie and electrofunk influences, combining them with deep and soulful house rhythms to produce a swathe of killer cuts. He's joined by an impressive cast list of guest singers - Taka Boom, Colonel Red, Pete Simpson and Diane Charlamagne among them - who invariably add super-slick vocals to his colourful, synth-heavy jams. It's a formula that guarantees a string of potential underground dancefloor hits, from the soft-touch boogie revivalism of "Feels Good 2 Me", to the bass-heavy, garage-influenced bounce of "Just Feel The Music".
