KiNK - Vacation (Perc & Bailey Ibbs Remixes) (Hypercolour)

 




Title: Vacation (Perc & Bailey Ibbs Remixes) 

Artist: KiNK

Label: Hypercolour

Cat Number: HYPE107

Genre: Techno


1: Vacation (Perc Remix)

2: Vacation (Bailey Ibbs Remix)


Not having heard the original of ‘Vacation’ I can’t really tell you how much it has been altered by these two remixes. Not that it matters a jot, as these “straight up techno bangers” almost certainly bear little or no resemblance to it. The Bailey Ibbs Remix really travels. It’s got funk down its shit stoppers and bed bugs in its grinders. It’s a great piece of  machine funk characterised by some off beat percussion and I would play it pitched dolwn a little, but that’s just me. Perc’s version is for when you don’t give a shit. Don’t try and dance to it, you can’t. Shake your shoulders and hope for the best. Rhythm is wasted on it, primal movements only. Is this what is played in the sex vaults in Berghain?
