illalobos epic revision of Shackleton's "Blood on My hands" classic refracted
through an MDMA crystal into 18 minutes of tripping minimal techno genius
similar in scope to his Fizheuer Ziheuer rhythm, but a hell of a lot darker. The
source material was always ripe for versioning, with a massively disparate
selection of top name DJs from Panorama bar's Cassy to Radio 1's Rob Da Bank
mixing the track up with house and r'n'b alongside dubstep standards to
exemplify the riddimic possibilites of such a classsic, astonishing track.
German/Chillean maestro Ricardo Villalobos would likely come up as one of the
most obvious candidates to remix such a signature tune with skill, depth and a
dancefloor panache to satisfy even the most demanding European dancefloor, full
of pouting/gurning ravers escaping to the land of aerobic mysticism. Villalobos
dissects the original with great care and due attention, gracefully laying the
morose melody and vocal samples over a sturdy mesh of loping 4/4 rhythms
intertwining themselves with blissed abandonment and loose limbed structures,
with more than a hint lying in the "Apocalypso now" remix title. The real
dancefloor tricks and Villalobos magic lie in the dubwise application of micro
edited sounds allowed to bleed and reverberate around the rhythm making for a
deliciously hypnotic and disorientating effect once you've locked into the
linear narrative of the 4/4 and the fella chatting about towers falling. Massive
12", totally essential, Hurry!
