Next up from the Culprit camp is Lee Foss' remixed EP. Like the artwork says, "conceived in Los Angeles, re-conceived in Paris & Berlin". We get the Frenchies on board :)
quote:
A remix package this may be but it clearly falls under the Culprit mantra of exploring new ground. Shonky and Dyed, though best friends in real life, pair up for only their second ever joint production. Anthony Collins not content with remixing one track, in fact delivers a true melange, by remixing both "Your Turn Girl" and "Pyramid Scheme" into something wonderfully new and different in "Pyramid Girl". Seuil perhaps best know for his skittish, intricate rhythms
akin to Ricardo Villalobos, explores new territory with his remix of "Things Fall Apart", showcasing an unexpected deep retro, New-Wave inspired sonic side of his palette. All four artists effortlessly compliment Foss' warm yet ominous funk.
Shonky and Dyed's remix is the most driving of the package, but also the most overtly euphoric. A track that will light up the best summer parties on the deeper end of the spectrum with a patented ultra groovy bassline, crisp percussion and a simple but incredibly effective use of the original vocal. Anthony Collins builds on "Your Turn Girl" with a gently modulating loop and tight but playful drums. The subtle programming tricks Anthony is known for build to a gorgeous piano-driven crescendo and he brings it home with choice bits from "Pyramid Scheme" while sneaking in Foss' "Warriors" vocal bit for good measure. Seuil does an impeccable 80's analogue drum machine-inspired groove, with a deeply melodic bassline and more than a passing nod to the best French retro house of the 90's in "Things Fall Apart". Stunning synth stabs at the mid-way point bring the drama.
