(Métisse 05) ft. Efdemin, John Beltran, Convextion & CRC

Post by fader »

Today, Curle exists three years - happy birthday to us!

We have a special release to celebrate that properly, the 5th installment on Métisse, our subdivision for remixes. Well, to be honest it's our 6th, if we count the Martyn 10".

Métisse 05 will be in stores somewhere during next week, but you can already listen to the tracks if you want:

A. Efdemin - The Pulse (John Beltran's Summer Light Remix)

B. CRC - Vaskitsaherra (E.R.P. aka Convextion Remix)

INFO:
It's been almost a year since the release of Efdemin's fantastic two-tracker 'America/The Pulse'. 'America', that was also used on his Curle mix-cd 'Carry On...', became quite a big tune and even ended up on the number one spot in Groove magazine's chart. Therefor Efdemin preferred that no-one touched that track anymore, and we decided to give 'The Pulse' a remix treatment. John Beltran is a highly respected artist that has been around since the early nineties - R&S! Peacefrog! Styrax! - and when we heard the ultra-funky mega-bomb he made from 'The Pulse', we knew we made the right decision to ask him. Another one of our long time favourites from accross the ocean is Convextion aka E.R.P. He did some ground-breaking stuff on Matrix, Down Low and Frantic Flowers. We asked him to do a remix of CRC's amazing take on Detroit techno, 'Vaskitsaherra', originally on Curle 009. The result ended up being nothing else than a timeless piece of art. This record comes as a beautifully marbled coloured vinyl, limited to 500 pieces.

I wouldn't play this, but I have to say that John's track is okay. However, I think he could have included a "break" in the tune, as it is ongoing without any major tempo changes or melody slow-downs.

I like Beltran's bouncy take on the original.
ERP: expected something more interesting from him, but this is still nice.

Yes this remix is disappointing and bland, especially considering how great the original track is !
