The creators of the Cambodian-psych sound, Dengue Fever offer up an EP that represents a (temporary?) stylistic switch-up. On Radio Dance Floor, the band is aiming more for the feet than the head, putting trippiness aside in favor of locomotion. While there’s a bit of the hazy, exotic, psychedelic swirl of their earlier recordings, these four tracks basically offer straight-up dance music. You get two versions each of two songs — a cover of the Donna Summer electro-disco moaner “I Feel Love” and a remix of “Clipped Wings,” a tune from the band’s 2008 album, Venus on Earth. Inara George of The Bird and the Bee lends a guest vocal to the former, and while it’s not quite as steamy as the original, Dengue Fever gets some bewitchingly hypnotic, murky percolation going. Dengue singer Chhom Nimol is back up front on the latter, delivering the Cambodian lyrics over a psychedelia-meets-trip-hop mix that suggests a meeting of the minds between Spiritualized and Portishead.
