Track Of The Day: Remote - The Swarm (UR)

 


This is the ultimate insect menace track. A piece of Funkadelic-inflected electro built around a squiggle of synth with what sounds like pots and pans being rattled in the background. Then the handclaps come in and it takes off. And underlining everything is the constant menace of the bees. Of course they’ve got to be African or Asian bees. None of our nice European bees would ever be as funky as this. And with that in mind: “Artium Instruments The Swarm is a portable, hybrid 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer and standalone stereo multi-FX box. It is highly regarded for its massive "super saw" oscillator—comprising seven individual, detunable saw waves stacked together to create huge, lush, 80s-style vintage sounds.” Meanwhile, Remote is Mike Banks and Buzz Goree. They got the funk!
