* The latest EP from Sierra_Sam (ToysForBoys Records, UMF, co-producer for UR’s Suburban Knight).
* Includes two drastically different reinterpretations from Camea (Clink Music) and Bloody Mary (Sender Records).
“Crisis” kicks off with a mechanical rumble, creating a sense of urgency as the track’s title implies. The sound of metal scraping provides the backdrop, becoming twisted and distorted, while the swelling beat pulls forces your heart-rate to conform.
The ambient sound is woven together with the programmed beats as the track’s dark tone gets more and more intense.
On the flip side, Camea, known for co-running Clink and her remixes for Pan-Pot and Ambivalent, offers her take on “Crisis”. While still hectic and menacing, her version contains 100% of your recommended daily intake of funk.
Finally, Bloody Mary’s remix increases the bounce factor – literally, as the track relies on the patter of ping pong balls for a syncopated percussive element. While Sam’s original was hypnotic mental affair, Mary is more concerned with shaking your ass.
