      Heard Pranksters played out last weekend. First time I heard it on big speakers. What a tune this is. 5/5 production

        Zinc's 90's output was always original, always thinking out the box with arrangement & ways of making something feel very much new/fresh; but when Zinc was on top form he was scorching hot; even industry defining (especially with the garage breaks).

        'Reach Out' has it all, the old school samples, the breaks, but delivered so fresh & with 'that f^%ing bassline!!! It definitely reeeeeeached out to the masses🔥

        'Pranksters' shows his other top quality of breaking the rules & coming with something challenging; the arrangement is abstract, downright sinister with that up & down simple bass pattern, its for the heads & the heads definitely rolled!

        Double sided classic plate right here & every bit as relevant today.
