The beat never lets up throughout this 22-minute set from local disco-house trio Opopo, who aim to recreate their soon to be famously wild live show, launching a relentless attack of heavy, throbbing beats and yelping vocal hooks. Admittedly, atmosphere plays a role in the enjoyment of the genre, and while blasting the album from your bedroom boom box is not quite the same as hearing it in a sweaty club beneath seizure-inducing strobe lights, if barn-burning moments like the twitchy, stuttering vocals on “Clockstop” and the anthemic call-to-arms of “Blast Blast” fail to get your feet moving, it’s probably just because it’s the middle of the afternoon and you’re sober.
