Hotshot free agents Crookers just dropped a nasty EP on Mad Decent, now they're back with a little something for Southern Fried. These guys sound like they're having way too much fun, tossing their now-trademark synths over a Bmore clap on "Sveglia(1)" and sprinkling on a little "It Takes Two" and the horror movie organ for good measure. After they completely murdered the remix to Kid Cudi's "Day N Nite," it was only logical that the Italian duo hook up with the Fool's Gold MC for a track of their own. Can't say "Embrace The Martian(2)" winds up on quite the same level of hypeness, but Cudi oozes personality as always over a thumping, tempo-changing outer space house beat. Also includes the slow-motion raver "Magic Bus(3)" and the title track(4). Pic sleeve.
