Optiv - Tunnel Vision / Magnetic Flip

Blindside rolls on with an awesome release from Optiv of Cause 4 Concern fame. He clearly demonstrates who's in charge of the collective's sound with two distinctive slabs of synthetic funk. Tunnel Vision is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, with a smooth-as-silk bassline and absolutely running beats. Magnetic Flip is quirky and innovative, featuring vocal snippets and clunky metallic percussion. The bassline is deceptively mellow, but it hits hard on the right kind of system (i.e. big!).
