Whatever happened to Baby Kate? ItÆs a question
thatÆs been asked ever since HeartthrobÆs opening cut on the min2MAX compilation
started causing such comprehensive damage to
dancefloors last summer.
Well, sheÆs grown up pretty quickly after being remixed from here to oblivion by
the Minus collective... and the results are truly
awesome. There are seven cutting edge excursions on offer here (four on vinyl
with a further three available digitally) and itÆs
testament to the original version that itÆs inspired such a wide spectrum of
interpretations to accompany you through the night.
The EP kicks off with the thousand yard stare of
MagdaÆs beautifully crafted, percussive dub, complete with morphing, distorted
motif, bouncing acid bass and subtle use of space.
Then thereÆs Konrad BlackÆs energetic signal to rave, with itÆs gated hookline,
phat electro bass and nu school flavor.
On the flip youÆll find the seductive tones and
monotonous, rolling groove of Sascha Funke. With itÆs blissed out bassline,
skanking hi-hat patterns and hypnotic melody, in fact
all thatÆs missing is the strobe and smoke machine. The EP concludes with the
fever created by PlastikmanÆs night dive into the
trackÆs murkiest depths. ItÆs an eight minute subsonic adventure that leaves you
lost at the other end of a deja vu.
For the digital community thereÆs the added bonus of
Troy PierceÆs fractured hallucinatiion, that combines scratchy digital efx with
echoes of sixties electronica circa 1965. A classy,
timeless interpretation. Robotman is also on hand, providing the remedy to
PlastikmanÆs sickness. Setting off from the same
point of origin but rising where the other falls, their mesmerising groove and
snaking arrangement would keep you on the edge of
your seat... if you werenÆt already on the dancefloor that is. Finally Adam
Beyer and Jesper DahlbΣck take the whole thing to
another level with a remix that blasts off into space, orbits the main theme of
the original before breaking up deliciously on
re-entry. ItÆs a cracking way to round off a remix package that offers real
strength in depth and will surely become a permanent
fixture in the more discerning record boxes over the coming months.
