It is clear from the word go that this collaboration is successful and not one to be sceptical of. Juno! Vs. Manda Rin have created a single, oozing cheek and coolness. 'These Boys Are Athletes' has an almost cheerleader-type charm to it without being too tacky. If Shifty Disco Records’ name had to be summed up by the sound of one song, this is that song. With thumping drum and bass combining with such ease with the simplistic melodies and audacious vocals, it is clear that this single must not be the only release from this collaboration.

'Smoke and Mirrors' is just as good, if not better. It is catchier than 'These Boys Are Athletes' and rightfully makes this release a Double A –Side. It shows a great range of influences from many different sub-genres of electronica and rock and they each combine well to create this fantastic song.

Buzzing electronica and catchy choruses is potentially a great recipe for a successful new collaboration and Juno! Vs. Manda Rin have cooked up a storm.

If this is a sign of what is to come in 2008, it’s going to be one amazing year.
