GU-RU's brand new E-learning refresher course …

If it's good enough for the BBC, it’s good enough for GU-RU… ahead of the scheduled Spring release of their new EP (and fingers crossed, all of us) the learned Leicester trio offer up Teach Me Acid Remix.

A ‘Keys Stage 5’ revision of their September single, trimmed down and beefed up to a bitesize banger crammer: beats and intergalactic synths cranked to the max, the original’s flute warped into a hypnotic looping hook, and the previously distant “Do it!” exhortation upfront and urgent… 

… it’s a more energetic workout than a Joe Wicks PE class that’s all E and no P, and a damn sight more fun.

Er… was it ’Big Box, Fishboard, Boxcard Little’?

… It’s been so long since people gathered (legally, at least) in a room to actually dance, actually together, that we might need an instruction manual when all this is finally over and the LEDs and lasers come on again.… GU-RU’s aptly titled Teach Me will fit the bill nicely.

In an A-B-C dancefloor primer, 80s house beats and sequencers shot through with 90s piano pulses and ornamented with 70s string textures and Moog lines, cook up an irresistible groove. an extra spicing of rainforest flute, subcontinental percussion, and Rio Carnival parade march lead via a brassy fanfare to a closing air-punching climax.

No matter how long you’ve been beached on the sofa, Teach Me’s masterclass in bangers will have you throwing eye-popping, teeth-grinding shapes like a PhD in rave in no time…

Killwave – Vigorously hyper…

This is vigorously hyper and flashy, fancy-dancy.
