Electro House Recommendations August 2011

Review: The always debonair Versatile present this Gallic dust up of epic proportions, serving up the first single from the debut album by Aladdin. If you've not checked the LP yet, "The Sun Is On Fire" is a perfect demonstration of the fuzzed out new wave sound that streams throughout. This twelve is all about the remixes however, with both I:Cube and Bot'Ox on hand with the former's take on "Mass Confusion" revelatory! We're big fans of I:Cube here but would never have guessed he would deliver the driving, psychedelic, motorik goth disco monster that you just picture Sir Weatherall destroying a Dalston basement with. In contrast, Bot'Ox draw on the darker undercurrents of the same track for a rubbery, analogue electro noir refix that builds expertly.
