  A legend to those who know, Todd Sines makes his first appearance on Circus Company in a fit of sharp-edged,
  wildly expressive house music that harks back to the unhinged early days of the label. Sines has a career that
  stretches back to the early 90s, having released lauded records under the .xtrak moniker on Peacefrog and 7th
  City amongst other legendary labels. Under his own name he has delivered equally timeless material on Planet E,
  Frankie and Morris Audio, but still this summary barely scratches the surface of an artist with a groove so
  distinctive it would futile to attempt an imitation.
  A key facet of Sines’ material is his ability to match a vivid, futuristic sound palette with a very human soul, and
  this is no more apparent than on Blowing. The title track alone throws down a challenge to any selector as a
  bugging line in off-kilter drums and tweaked out synth lines rub up against an utterly soulful vocal turn from Robert
  Owens in a true definition of 21st century funk. Originally written by Charles Webster, Sines has taken the
  foundations of the track and twisted it into a shape all of his own.
  Elsewhere the mood takes a deeper turn, as “Deserted”, “Cave” and “Recover” all plunge into a vision of deep
  house that retains the emotion while pushing the rhythms into exciting, psychedelic new territory. Even if the
  tracks go very far out indeed, there’s always a tangible beat to hold on to, testing the nerve of the play-it-safe DJ
  while giving musical explorers music as accessible as it is challenging.
  While there may be shards of experimentation flying out of these tracks at every angle, the warmth in between the
  unusual shapes makes Sines’ music so very easy on the airs in the same breath. It’s in such juxtapositions that
  the most exciting music can be found, satisfying the heart and surprising the head in equal measure.
