The clue’s in the title, obviously. This track being a hommage on behalf of Sean Johnston to the deep, druggy, low slung sound of Murk, straight out of Miami. The original is all of that. A faithfully realised replication of the roots of dark, spoken word deep house. Erol Alkan and Richard Norris inject the chug and funk up an already impossibly rhythmic template. Slowing the groove down into a rimshot-driven percussive trip. The Coral Way Dub stays closer to the original, stripping it back, sharpening the kick and losing some of the peripheral noise as it does. The vocal is dispensed with and we’re left with a very functional layer of intent. All three versions are very useful with, thankfully, the vocal and Re-Animation offering completely different experiences. Each track is a healthy length as well, spreading its respective wings within its world in order to yield something very special.
