Darshan Jesrani's Cylinder moniker presents Disco Engine, a futuristic joyride that draws upon late '80s and early '90s techno vibes as much as it does disco and R&B to produce a warmly insistent, buoyant, sexy, and somewhat menacing groove with ruthless, detuned 808 toms and a punchy, round analog bass synth. A greasy, giddy synth rhythm holds the middle down, and ecstatic choral synth pads and vocals by Chelsea Adewunmi soar just above the horizon. The 4-Stroke Dub works a more DJ-oriented angle around that 808, subtly driving and every bit as engaging as the original. A1. Disco Engine, B1. Disco Engine (4-Stroke Dub)
