ColeCo

Can't Stop

BY Vincent PollardPublished Feb 14, 2012

ColeCo (not to be confused with the videogame console or any of the three other artists of the same name) are a production duo based in Toronto, ON that have been getting a rep in the past year or so for remixing a variety of artists, as well as providing the live programming for T-dot hero the Weeknd. This EP features three original tracks and their remix of Florence + the Machine's cover of "Take Care," originally by that other T.O. star, Drake. Unabashedly retro and not afraid to embrace the irony ― they sample Foreigner on the title track ― ColeCo bring to mind the commercial house scene of '90s Britain, in particular expert cheesemongers Phats & Small. The production is tight and the tracks, although lacking variation, are incredibly catchy, showcasing their talents well. Heavily tongue-in-cheek, these guys do what they do well and it sounds like they're having a stupid amount of fun in the process.
