Heralding from St Petersburg and Moscow, Special Case is part of a rising wave of Eastern European artists, a region that holds tremendous importance for Culprit's Ukrainian born Andrei Osyka. Having established reputations as individual DJs in their native soil, the trio - Roustam, Tripmastaz and Arram Mantana - came together as Special Case specifically to create a release for Culprit, and with the belief that the whole would be greater than the sum of their parts. 'Aurum' is dancefloor gold and proves they were right to do so.
On 'Aurum', which is Latin for gold, Special Case delivers a slice of precious dancefloor fun. A warm funky track awash with pop-sensibilities perfectly suited to a daytime groove. It is the ying to the B-side's (Roundabout) yang. Robert James takes 'Aurum' in a different direction with a more epic synth-laden version on the patented Hot Creations sound he has helped lay the template for.
