9/10 – Andy Reid (NocturnalMagazine.net, Canada)

Chocolate Puma have firmly reasserted themselves as one of the top house producers of the moment. After the killer “Touch Me”, they follow it up with another gem on Defected. “Morning Rain” combines moody vocals with addicitve brass stabs and some serious attitude on the percussion. With epic breakdowns, and big big drums this one will crush dancefloors, it’s guaranteed!

Scottish Daily Record.

After their last blistering release on Strictly Rhythm, Rene and Gaston aka Chocolate Puma return with another top notch production.  It’s all about big tribal beats that march on intently together with dramatic synths and chimes towards the hefty soulful vocal hook that’s perfect for peak time. There’s also a couple of good mixes that include a quite excellent dub, and extra track Whohadrums with it’s latino vocal sample is a great smile on the face bit of Sunkist house.  Lovely stuff!
