│release notes.
Croatian disco DJ/producer Ilija Rudman first appeared on my radar
back in early 2007 with the After Midnight EP on Love Is War. Its
killer cut bore a distinctly different lean than many records at
the time, sounding like a mix between Steve Kotey's Bear Funk
productions and LFO's rather exceptional electro. By this time heÆd
been kicking around for a number of years, releasing tracks on his
own Red Music as early as 2003. Since then Rudman has slowly risen
through the ranks, courting remixes from the likes of Pete Herbert,
The Revenge and Mark E over the years. The original "Call Me
Tonight" which dropped in February, was a sharp turn for the boogie
ù all slapped bass, cowbells and 808 drums. Here, however, he
passes the joint to a few of his old friends for a workout. First
up is Greg "Reel to Reel" Wilson who keeps some of the finer points
of the original ù the cowbells most notably ù and throws in a few
added extras of his own from the central vocal sample, a slow
moving piano riff and a chunkier bass line which make it a somewhat
more dancefloor friendly, Hacienda-esque re-rub. Rhythm Based
Lovers go all dubby disco on the tune with their "Dub Me
Tonight"mix. Keeping the groovy pace and sparseness of the
original, they push it further into '80s electro-funk akin to
Chicken Lips with shuffling 808s, knowingly rudimentary ancillary
percussion, synth stabs and vamps, the obligatory echoes and a sick
additional slap bass line that for some reason evokes thoughts of
80s NY montages. Seems it's left to Scottish producer Graeme Clark,
aka The Revenge, to provide a mix rooted deeply in the 21st
century, which he does ù kind of. His "1-800 Mix" has all the
hallmarks of a classic deep disco house number, though itÆs
strangely hard to place. Part deep house circa Jon Cutler's "It's
Yours" thanks to its reverbed funk inspired piano riff, part modern
disco for the floor ù all pulsating bass lines, synthetic claps and
in keeping with the boogie of the original, rustic sequencing and
scads of space for each part. No denying it's a pretty hot mix by
The Revenge, however on this EP it lacks the sheer memorable
audaciousness of the Rhythm Based Lovers remix. Either way, each of
these remixes is worth checking out; I suspect disco kids will be
breaking this one out 'til 2012 at least.
