Alice Russell - Pot Of Gold

4 Track DJ Promo Review :

Natural Self - The Rising (Bullion Remix)
A CRUNCHY remix fusing psychedelic funk & breakbeats on a devastated warfield. Full TRIPPING - as if The Chemical Brothers had been hooked on funk and hip hop from day one...

Spanky Wilson & The QSO - Waiting For Our Touch (Domu Remix)
A soul neoclassic remade into disco - you wouldn't suspect that from broken beat after Domu. Push the bass to the limit and watch the floor go nuts!

Belleruche - Reflection (Trus' Me Remix)
It's quite unusual to hear Kathrin deBoer dressed in 4/4 classy housey beats - which should give ideas to many producers soon... Also available on the 'Black Gold EP'.

Me&You - Wouri River (Redeyes Mix)
Can you get enough of Me&You? Rob Luis & TM Juke have stumbled upon a formula for making the dancefloor crazy - bootay, feets and mind! Their afro drum'n'bass track 'Wouri River' gets the heavyweight treatment from Southwest of France's drumaster Redeyes (Bingo Beats).

TM Juke - My World Is Empty Without You EP
(12") Tru Thoughts TRUEP154, 2008-04-07

Tracklisting & Review :

A1. My World Is Empty Without You feat. Alice Russell
It's simply amazing what this two can do together. This one's a classy slow gospel soul cracker for the heartbrokens. Alice is incredible - again. TM Juke's production steps to a new level - again.

A2. Electric Chair feat. Elmore Judd
A3. Electric Chair feat. Elmore Judd (instrumental)
I called this one "sensible electronic soul" in my review on the "Forward" album. I could have tipped it as "swinging electronic beats for trendy loundeheads" too... And it's also available in instrumental form for 21st century chillouts.

B1. Come Away (Zumen remix)
For something more dancefloor, there's a Zumen remix of "Come Away" - some kind of hybrid uptempo reggaeton synthetized soul - I'd love to know a club where you can hear this in Paris :/

B2. Pencils For Dolphins (Wyndham Earl remix)
To complete this EP, the Wyndham Earl (??) mix of "Pencils for Dolphins" is surprisingly fresh harmless hippie pop.
