With another weekend of big spending and even bigger partying coming up, I thought it was about time to post some suitably big tunes. 'Pixelated', from my new favourite Phonat (teaming up with Super Mal), is your standard party vibe - all flashy synth work and hard-hitting bass drum - with some tasty vocal chops and a funky bassline. (It goes a bit funny at one point, but the production team bring it back under control in good order). Bit of a tune. Moulinex provides a more soft and consitent sound, and his remix of College's 'Fantasy Park' is probably one of my favourite songs of the moment. A pretty revealing achievment, considering I only got hold of it about ten minutes ago. The weird vox-synth pattern sucked me in immediately. (His remix of Tellier's Kilometer is also none too shabby.)Slightly more hardcore is Modeselektor's dubsteppy version of 'Blazin'. I've pretty much included it purely out of a hunger for powerful dubstep bangers, but it is suitably strong in the bass department, and pleasantly violent. Does get a bit repetitive though.
But still worth getting hold of.
And last, but not least, is Kavinsky's remix of 'Roche'. Where Moulinex uses funky, almost pornographic bass (and actually pornographic vocal samples) to capture the essential Sebastien Tellier 'sexed-up' vibe, Kavinsky goes for a more subtle approach - slowing the whole thing down and bringing out the vocals nicely. The strings give it an almost cinematic atmosphere and it's pretty much the perfect song for napping to. (In a good way.) I'm definitely off Kavinsky-hunting after this post.
