Release Notes:
Minimow is the alter-ego of 25 year old Italian producer
Mowgli aka Michele Savasta. His 10 year production career has
seen his music blossom, from his early days in Hip-Hop,
through Drum & Bass and into House. His 2007 remix of Soul Of
Man's 'Scatterbox' really brought him to the worlds attention,
and, since last years move to London, he has been signed up to
remix high-profile artists including Tricky, X-Press 2 and
Simian Mobile Disco. 2008 also saw the release of his heavily
support 'Club Life' EP on Southern Fried, and the launch of
his very own 'Dead Fish Audio' label. As Minimow, he has
already released on Hell Yeah Recordings with 'Where's My
Pill', and remixed Lorenz Rhode's 'Motor Cortex' on Exploited.
So to today's release, which for me, is already a 2009
'favourite'! For fans of Ananda'esque, fun filled, quirky
house music, 'Bollyhouse' is set to be a big weapon for you.
With the recent influx of ethnic and African samples, it is
refreshing to hear something with an Asian flavour. Built
around the full rounded sounds of the traditional Tabla and
Bayan drums, and woven brilliantly together with its Sitar
melody, and Indian Flute. It is topped off with is trippy cut
of vocal sample.
'Keep Groovin'' is a big personal fave. Its stunning use of
Jazz Trumpet in the breaks, welded together by the heavy-assed
bassline, delightful piano stabs, demon wire-snare-hi-hat
sounds and bongo work, make this a sure player, whether you
wanna take things deeper or ramp it up...
Finally topping off the package is man of the moment 'SIS',
who gets his hands on 'Bollyhouse' and turns in a truly
delightful re-working. Playing heavily on the flute line, SIS
creates a beautiful atmospheric number, dubbing the bassline
even further, and dropping some wonderful wooden Xylophone
work. This is a fantastic remix!
Overall a great release from Minimow and Exploited Records,
and fantastic way to launch our working relationship. This
release is set make its mark. With Miami WMC only a week away,
this could very well be, one of the releases of the
conference!
