[CHI019] FCB: Beaver Blink (+ Luke Solomon / Zodiac Cartel)
Artists: Fine Cut Bodies
Title: Beaver Blink
Genre: House / TechHouse
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: CHI019
Huncut Hacuka has just made it to Simian Mobile Disco's FabricLive compilation, and here is its brother from Kevin: Beaver Blink. With the perfect dosage of heavy weight and melodic components, Fine Cut Bodies delivers this tasty bit of tech-house for the peak-time hours. On remix duties this time there is Classic man Luke Solomon and the mysterious Zodiac Cartel. ZC stay close to their statement here "We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness". Unfriendlier than the original, although viciously hides the melodic bits of it. Luke Solomon takes a more laid back but darker direction, perfectly mixing dubby and techy elements with a hint of old-skool Orb ambience. Nice words and support from: Dan F, Smithmonger, Lee Mortimer, Chloe Harris, Danny Bonnici, and for more read below...
