RIB003 – Captain Tinrib – Manta, The Specialist 96, & Double Agent Funk

More hard house and trance in a German style with snare rolls, pulsating basslines and choirs giving all three tracks that ‘Age Of Love/ Hardfloor’ feel. Favourite here is ‘Double Agent Funk’, a stripped down slice of bouncy acid. Good. (Technohead Reviews in D.J. Magazine) This release saw Sony Dancepool in France liking ‘Manta’ so much, they licensed it for the follow up to ‘Anaconda’. The Specialist ’96 is an update of the Captain’s first attempt at the harder side of underground dance music originally released on Dave Cousen’s D5 Records back in 1994.
