With their 'Unhappy Days' remix EP landing November 13th on Distiller Records, Glasgow band The Ninth Wave have been sharing a number of reworks of their songs including versions by Working Men's Club, Mogwai and Low Spirits. The band now unveil a remix of their song 'Abattoir' by none other than London-based band Dream Wife. Dark and menacing, musically the production steers away from what we are typically used to from the trio.
Glasgow's The Ninth Wave have shared a new remix of their track 'Come Down Forever' courtesy of Working Men's Club. Giving the tune a rave makeover, bouncy 80s-esque drums and cowbells are fused with sharp synth stabs as effects are layered on top of the vocal snippets.
London's Karthik Poduval, known for his work as a member and founder of the psychedelic band Flamingods, as released a new single under his Mera Bhai moniker. The track titled 'Jama El F'na' is more of a remix of Ahmed Fakroun’s 1987 cut 'Jama El F’na', which was featured of the LP ''Mots D'Amour = Love Words'.
LARRY PINK THE HUMAN, the band consisting of Slave's Laurie Vincent and producer Jolyon Thomas, have unveiled a new remix of their single 'LOVE YOU, BYE' courtesy of London's Everyone You Know. Completely transforming the original indie pop version into an atmospheric, 4x4-driven rave composition, the duo use breakbeat drums to coincide with moody guitar lines and ethereal synths. Utterly hypnotic in sound, this rework will definitely be on repeat for a quite a while. Have a listen.
The Holy Knives have team-up with The Kills' Jamie Hince for a remix of their track 'Always Gone'. Hazy guitar licks, church bells and slow-marching drumming are the base of the production. What can be described as spaghetti western meets psychedelic, desert rock, Hince's version is dark, sultry and uber sexy.
For those who got the opportunity to see Guy Gerber play live before the lockdown, might have heard the mainstay producer and DJ play his remix of Desire's 2012 track 'Don't Call'. Well now he has finally released this killer version to the general public. Gerber's version pumps with pulsing drums, echoing snares, ethereal synths and Megan Louise's sultry vocals dripped in reverb.
Paris-based duo Nadeah & Beki have shared a new post-punk remix of their song 'Ou Est Tu?', courtesy of none other than Nouvelle Vague's Marc Collin. A high-pulse offering, the song is built on a crunching bass line, stabbing synths and racing drum programming.
Yorkshire's Franky Wah has reworked the classic Olive single 'You’re Not Alone'. Whilst the original 90s version was more breakbeat-driven, Franky Wah transform the tune into a luscious deep house bit that is truly entrancing. Cosmic synths lay comfortably atop pulsing 4x4 kicks with the echoing vocals of Olive giving it that blissful touch.
Parisian duo Isaac Delusion have shared a new Franc Moody remix of their track 'pas ‘habitude'. With the original version taken from their latest LP 'uplifters', this rework is an upbeat slice of nu-disco and funk, pumping with an unstoppable bass line, sharp guitar licks and kicking 4x4 drums.
Over the past few months Brooklyn rapper and singer SAINt JHN has been releasing what he calls 'one take' videos for tracks taken from his 2019 LP 'Ghetto Lenny's Love Songs'. Basically, the team literally film each vid in one take and release them. With that being said, the visuals aren't shabby at all. In fact, they're quite good. For his latest one take, SAINt JHN has dropped a video for the Imanbek remix of his song 'Roses'. You can find the artist driving around in a truck full of girls dancing to the track, even though technically they're actually in front of a green screen. Never the less, the tune is a banger and the graphics for the flashing lyrics are really amazing. Have a look.
