Andy Vaz
Title: Bygone Time Remixes
Remixers: Trus’me, Lerosa, .Xtrak, Rick Wade
Cat.: YRE-016
Label: Yore Records
Format: 12"
Already up to its sixteenth release, Yore keeps rolling on. This time with a superb set of Andy Vaz remixes. Four Yore artists tackle Vaz’s originals on Different Times-You Got Remixes, and in doing so offer a wide stylistic range. With the remixers being Trus’me, Lerosa, Rick Wade and .Xtrak, it comes no surprise that the results just simply keep bursting with talent. Starting with Trus’me (Manchester-based David James Wolstencroft) gets things moving with a funky “Bygone Times” Acid-House makeover replete with a strong grooving electrifying 303 bass line providing a high-velocity propulsion, strings, claps, and a percolating groove that really kicks in when Alton Miller’s soulful vocal appears. Synthetic strings add an elegant touch while disco hit-hats flirt with your ears. “Hurry, Hurry” receives two treatments, the first by Lerosa and the second by Rick Wade. Lerosa works up a trippy lather with a slick weave of vocal loops and a stepping dance pulse. The intricate vocal effects are sweetly funky but it’s the subtly electrified funk rhythm that’s most affecting. Anything but a wallflower, Wade roars in with his customary slamming beats to wholly recast Vaz’s original. The tune lunges forward with Wade draping its muscular groove with electric piano chords, Moog flourishes, and synthetic strings. The breakdown arrives two-thirds of the way through just like you knew it would, after which Wade ups the beat ante to drive the now stripped-down track home. Todd Sines twists “You Got” into cubistic shape that’s very much in keeping with his viral .xtrak techno style. Splattering chopped vocal fragments over a slinky, snare-popping groove, Sines’ remix is clearly the wildest of the four. No surprise to us, .Xtrak always knew how to Jack, from early 7th City to recent Yore Days. See you on the Dance-floor.
YRE016 FEEDBACK:
Cassy (Perlon): “very nice!!”
Gerd Janson (Running Back): “Nice remixes on Andy Vaz quality outlet. Trus'me, Rick Wade and Lerosa do all what they do to nice effects, but .xtrak takes the cake with some cut and sliced metallic techno funk. Addictive.”
Giles Smith (secretsundaze): I love what Yore do with their pure unadulterated vision. Here a host of artists associated with the label remix label owner Andy Vaz. First up is the totally on form Trus'me who goes a lot more Technoey than some of his releases while still retains bags of soul. A deep, acidy groove gets things going before some dramatic pads / string lines enter the fray creating a remix of great depth and warmth. Lerosa pulls an absolute gem out of the bag too, retaining a slight acid feel but making it more Housey with some nice conga's and bongo's. On the flip Rick Wade pulls out a housey groove but doesn't reach the parts of his best work while Xtrax pulls out a quirky, mechanical funky groove. ”
Mathias Kaden (Freude am Tanzen) “great music and remixes....”
Mike Shannon (Cynosure, Minus): “Some great remixes here! I'm diggin the acid mix the best. ”
Nick Curly (Cecille): “full support!”
Philip Sherburne: “i like the x-trak mix -- quite dark and weird. the lerosa is my fave though, stripped down to basics...”
