This latest release brings you the debut 6 track EP/LP from The Third Man. Before We Begin is packed full of ideas but the key themes of keeping ears tuned to some of Detroit's past masters and eyes focused firmly on the dancefloor resonate throughout. 'Onwards and Upwards' wastes no time in setting the pace, opening immediately with a punchy kick drum and a wash of Maurizio-style synths before dropping the bass line and letting this carry you towards the smooth melodies and vintage UR jazz stylings that follow. Sounds like: Mad Mike, Laurent Garnier and Monolake having a 3-way face off.
