A one-of-a-kind, exquisitely comfortable listen: weaving in sound collage, it gently tells its story across a melancholic, dreamy, psychedelic world of music — this is a powerful remix EP from "The Soft White Hand," the long-awaited new album (his first in seven years) by South Africa's fantastically bizarre electronic beatdown/downtempo collage maverick Felix Laband.
Included are five remixes, each showcasing its creator's distinct character and skill: A1 "They Call Me Shorty (Acid Pauli Short Remix)" (sample 1), a 128 BPM Acid Pauli rework that rocks the floor with psychedelic, phantasmagoric tripping; A2 "They Call Me Shorty (DMX Krew Remix)" (sample 2), a 121 BPM deep house hypnotic disco affair from DMX Krew; A3 "We Know Major Tom's A Junkie (Frivolous Remix)" (sample 3), a 113 BPM slow-mo beatdown that's elegant and dreamy; B1 "Derek And Me (Shahrokh Dini Remix)", a 120 BPM tropical, phantasmagoric leftfield house remix by the brilliant Shahrokh Dini; and B2 "5 Seconds Ago (Coldcut Just Say No Remix)" at 164 BPM (82), which shows the sheer authority and storytelling of legendary heavyweights Coldcut — a place they've reached by way of bass music, hip-hop, breakbeats and megamixes.
