What makes a good dance track? Layering: you want a good build-up, from simple taps and slaps to a nice meshing of counter beats. But most importantly, you want a rib-cage reverberating bassline. Oh yes. Yes please.

This latest single from Mr Scruff fits the template perfectly. The latin-inspired riff in Donkey Ride, similar to a Buena Vista Social Club piano groove, sits delicately over a hip-hoppy and bass drum-heavy underbeat, which is making my windows rattle and feet skip under the desk as I write.

I particularly like the syncopated bassline, which is not intrusive in the least. In a club setting, however, the drop-in would be amazing. After some inspired rhythmic play, and the establishment of the chordal riff, that ever-so-famous “Warning, incoming bassline” which comes up on Scruff’s video screens to broadcast the moment, would welcome those trouser-buzzing bass notes beautifully.

The B side, Giant Pickle, is more of a chillout tune, with a slightly trip-hoppy sound, which morphs into a touch of drum and bass in parts. My feet don’t skip to this track. It’s more of a gentle, gangster-like rock-with-the-beat affair. Imagine the hand up high on the steering wheel, seat well back, reclined. It doesn’t really speak to me, and it would be at this point in the Scruff set that I’d get my cup of tea.
