Mike Goodwin/DJ Shine - Krank Yo Money Maker

FU Friend Mike Goodwin may not be as widely recognised as deserved on the home front, but he's been steadfast at the production helm for a long time, churning out quality tracks since the mid-1990s that cover the spectrum from lush House to squelchy Techno.  For his first release on his digital imprint Utility, Mike teams up with Toronto's Jason "DJ Shine" Spanu for "Krank Yo Money Maker", which leans more on the Tech-side of the spectrum.  Of the three mixes available, the moody "Synth Only Mix" immediately caught our attention, with a penetrating stab that anchors an infectious loop and some squelchy acid goodness.  The aptly titled "Beats Only Mix" also garners mention, delivering a stripped-down, crunchy, percussive workout that hits in all the right places.

Krank Yo Money Maker is available now as a digital download from Juno.
