Sydney rhythm kings debut

Percussion Junction are three drummers and a DJ who mix live drumming with electronic beats, with results that sometimes sound like hip hop and sometimes house. Bustdown Brown is a downtempo, chilled funk song with guest appearance by Xela from Good Buddha while All Out War is a pelvis-driving, Kung Fu Fighting, dancefloor filler with assault vocals by MC Gabi. Iron Eagle drags a bit with vocalists Gina Mitchell and Nikkita banging on about TV and Playstation and horror and toy guns destroying our children, but most of the songs are carried over the bumps by pounding and pulsating rhythms. The second half of the album is mostly dubs and remixes; four versions of the first track is a bit much, but the originals are worth it. One for percussion junkies.
