Joey Casio is a one-man dance party. For years he has brandished
unkempt house parties with a tense, spiky post-punk certainty, imprints of
running shoes that danced on sludgy shag carpet. On “Share the Cup,”
Casio creates more space for dub influences. His voice is terse; there is an
overtaking electronic burble that drops away for arpeggio twitters. “Share
the cup/Spare the sword.” It’s a hopeful punk-dub mix. The b-side,
provided by Selector Dub Narcotic features even more space via
echoplex, tape delay, and a buoyant melodica. If dance music is about
revolution, this release – as part of the Dub Narcotic Disco Plate series –
ditches divisiveness. Sit at the table.
