Sultan follows up the very successful 'Shivers' with 'No Why' on Shinichi featuring Zara, another amazing vocal talent. Adding their own sound to this package is Nick K and Richard Earnshaw.
The original is silky smooth piece full of gorgeous synths, sublte basslines and simple beats. Zara's vocal is floated softly over elements while a nice guitar sample echos after each verse. The simple chorded melodies are very pleasing while the vocal never over shadows the production.
Nick K is up next as he hardens the drums and adds a little flare with electro-like effects and gritty synths. A grinding bassline drives this track along while the squeeling of sustained synths play perversly with a sample of the vocal. The production is seemless with all elements meshing so nicely that you forget that its a remix. Would love to hear a dub version of this.
Rounding off the remixes is Richard Earnshaw as he delivers a straight up West Coast style mix with piano melodies while tweaking the original guitar, adding to it a twang. Bouncy basslines and happiness all round is the mainstay here while the vocal gets front stage treatment throughout the mix.
As an extra goodie, Shinichi have provided a track by Sultan called 'Whatever'. Here we see strong beats and rasping percussion create a driving feel while heavy guitar samples and riffs play havoc with your ears. The guitars are heavily effected and are rarely assisted by other elements.
As a release, the quality and variation will suit many in the house department. Sultan's productions are always of the finest quality while fast rising star Nick K delivers what I feel is the standout here.

The original mix of No Why has been my favourite song this month, so good to just sit back and listen to.
I'm not too impressed by the Nick K Remix, the Richard Earnshaw is alright is a housey sort of way.
Whatever is also a great track, sounds fantastic if you turn it up LOUD.
I recommend everyone to check out this release. |
