Track Of The Day- Adapta - Vohx Continues (Frustrated Funk)

 


Great record win which each separate element seems to be doing its own thing, yet everything falls together. The 303 is probably the dominant element, but the portentous synth swirls heighten the drama and eventually come to dominate just as much. There’s a feeling of collision on this track, between the past and the present. The old and the modern. Adapta was, I think, Bitstream straight outta Northampton Not too far away from where I’m typing these words as the crow flies. Amazing music. When will there be more?

Track Of The Day: Ultraviolet - Union (Stacey Pullen Remix) (Music Man)


A massive track on the 90s South London/Croydon tech house warehouse axis. Stacey Pullen was one of the premium remixers around this time, even if he didn’t do that many 9quality over quantity for sure). After Silent Phase he didn’t do that much under his own name anyway. However, what he did do is memorable. This remix interweaves at least three percussive motifs with an undulating low end synth as well as high end melodic squeaks. Sounds shite? Well it’s ace. I saw him DJ twice. Once at The Rex inn Paris, and at Space at Bar Rhumba. Amazing both times.

Track Of The Day- The Hacker: Fadin Away (Heinrich Mueller Remix) (Good Life)


Hitting its stride somewhere between Italo, Kraftwerk and a very DIY aesthetic; this remix for the Hacker from Heinrich Mueller is yet another example of the latter’s versatility and a great example of a track turned inside out by its reinterpretation. The original being a very passable piece of electro with a wistful undertow, something that the remix remodels and amplifies.
