Sarp Yilmaz - Disintegration EP

Turkish producer Sarp Yilmaz seems to have a jackdaw-like fascination for classic noughties dance music if his debut release for Dublin’s blossoming Swink Music is anything to go by. But whereas many others might have lazily knocked out something a touch hackneyed, the boy from Istanbul manages to shine new light through old windows. Borrowing on John Cutler’s It’s Yours, The Knowledge is straight-up dance-floor fodder with a sizeable dose of funk and an irresistible groove. Yilmaz turns to another tried and tested source for Stronger On My Own, this time the Kathy Brown classic, and proffers a more subtle and deeper rendition than the original and is all the better for that.
