Format: CD album
Released: May 18
Label: No19 Music
Don't be fooled by the name - Kenny Glasgow hails from Toronto, Canada. That said he does share one element of musical taste with a large section of the Scottish raving population - the lot that don't like Scooter that is - in other words, a serious dedication to Detroit techno and Chicago house of the late 80s.
It's easy at times during 'Taste For The Low Life' to forget that you are listening to one of 2009's releases - the rhythmic shuffle of 'Logan's Run' could be Carl Craig during his (excellent) 69 era. Likewise, the best track here, the truly irreistible 'Dance 2 The House', sounds like the work of Adonis, Marshall Jefferson or Steve 'Silk' Hurley.
Impeccable influences and a real nice feel throughout. If no19 Music had lied and said this was an undiscovered gem from 1987 getting a reissue then it'd be getting 5/5 - as it is, its over reliance on the past, and such a distinct era it makes Oasis look eclectic, has cost it a couple of marks.
3/5
