hi kidz,
whoa, a friend just bought the new Rephlex
single - Fuschmuschi - "Super Sexy Lady".
CD single comes with 3 mixes, another
track by them and a Bogdan remix of that
track ("My Number One".) Well, "Super Sexy
Lady" is in the Rephlex patented weirdfuckedup
vocal stylee - and sounds quite a lot like Prince
meets electro (lotsa falsetto vocals!), not a million
miles away from the Cylob remixes of Jones that
came out recently. Or, actually, the Pigeonhed
remixes on Sub Pop from a while back.. weird.
The Bogdan Raczynski remix is all unintelligible
vocals and child-like singing scribbled over the top
- probably the best thing on the single, actually,
subversive in a cute way like the Aphex remix
of Baby Ford recently was great in a 'grows on
you' way.
There's also a DMX Krew picture disc on
Rephlex that's just come out. It has Ed
DMX (with a New Balance T-shirt on)
balancing two 'DMX Krew' slipmatted decks
on his knees. Someone take that man back
to 1982 now! Haven't heard the tracks yet,
one of them seems to be a vocal collaboration
with one of Chicks On Speed (German DJ Hell
and Christopher Just collaborators and forthcoming
on Digital Hardcore, rite? Or is that someone else?)
regards,
h0l.
ps - got an oold promo of Locust - "Morning Light"
at the weekend - I was supa-surprised, I thought
this would be Biosphere-style hermeticallysealed
ambient, but it's beautiful vocal electronica in a sorta
Lamb-meets-Archive style. Wow - this must have
been way ahead of its time when it originally came out.
(on R+S sublabel Apollo, a fair while ago, rite?)
