Album review: Shadow Light – Tahuna Breaks


SHADOW LIGHT
Tahuna Breaks
(Rhythmethod)

Having the balls to ask Brit house combo Crazy P to co-produce their first offering in close on four years but not having the cash to fly them out to NZ has been a double-edged sword for the Kiwi funksters’ third full-lengther.

Sure, it took a little longer and meant they missed out on soundtracking New Zealand’s endless summer, but having Crazy P’s influence unencumbered by pohutakawa beach parties gives Shadow Light a euro-dance edge and shows them truly moving on from the days of Giddy Up and their Aotearoa backyard reggae styles.

The seven-piece keeps a live feel to most of the tracks but lifts its game with a host of dancefloor rocking beats drenched in electro funk disco… a new and great departure.
