In their first examples of original material, this mash-up duo offer a concoction of punchy electronica that carries off like a celestial arcade game. “This is not art/this is not music,” we're told with an air of self-awareness by a commanding, artificial voice in slapdash opener TINA. While funkified party anthem Undertow is heavy on the grooves and low on the originality, Fingertips' faux attitude-laden vocals in Real Talk might induce a cringe or two. But fun techniques like off-kilter slap-bass still inform a solid, accessible dance mix. They play The Prince on 18 Apr.
