Hot on the heels of EDSC 003 comes the 4th release for the Manchester born & bred label/clubnight/meeting of minds and what an assault on the senses it truly is! EDSC 004 comes from way across the Atlantic and is from Shadow Kids aka Mike Simonetti (Italians Do It Better) & synth wizard Secret Circuit. This release truly ticks all the boxes for those that love to go on an epic journey of the cosmic kind and what better way to accompany you on that trip than by having some remix action courtesy of Seahawks and Ruf Dug?
Laughing At Jazz starts off proceedings with an infectious string arrangement that rides the wobbly baseline like a pro cosmic surfer before out of nowhere a Chicago tinged piano creeps into the mix to bring things back from space and onto the dance floor. Ruf Dug turns in an excellent wobbly boogie tinged version with a re-recorded vocal by Ruffy himself that takes in disco elements whilst punchy piano chords keep it hooky. Nightsun plays out like a theatrical play of different sections and is intriguing from the first beat (although it is over 2 mins before the 4/4 kicks in!) and continues to surprise throughout its 8 minute playing time…with psyched out melodies alongside snappy percussion and a “womp womp” bassline before entering a final stage that goes for an almost heads down vibe. Seahawks do the seemingly impossible and crank up the psych meter to full throttle making Nightsun and even grander experience with a running time of just over 12 minutes! The listening equivalent of Lord Of The Rings, this is epic, beautiful & an absolutely stunning piece of work.
