UK beatdown up-and-comer MEDLAR — remix cuts from his debut album "SLEEP," plus welcome extended versions of the fan favorites. KON & GREYMATTER Remix!!!
The top pick here has to be A1 "Tides (KON Remix)" (sample1), a peak-making cut that rises smoothly and expansively, handled by CHRISTIAN TAYLOR aka KON of disco diggers KON & AMIR, whose album "On My Way" on the venerable BBE was a big hit last year. The original version here is a ragged, jazzy beatdown house track stretched out for the single — good stuff! Also worth checking is "Listen (Greymatter Remix)" (sample3), from GREYMATTER, a beatmaker hailing from the Nova Scotia peninsula east of Montreal who goes back as far as appearing on 〈Compost〉 compilations; it's heavily colored by the 〈50WEAPONS〉 sound, with a nicely restrained tension that never overheats.
