I’ve got a right ripper for you this week that was originally destined for the previous post, before I got tangled up in me tangents and votnot. This track was remix/rinsed-dry by every Tom, Dick & Diplo-wannabe last year, and most of ’em just removed the brilliant simplicity and right-wrongness of a track that sounds like a bunch of different things, in one gloriously booming package. Township Funk feels to me like hyped-up dancehall beats meeting L.F.O.’s African cousins inna Pretorian pressure-cooker showdown – or something like that. It’s phenomenal on a big system, yet it’s also got a touch of the revenge of the ringtone. DJ Mujava has created a one-off crucial conundrum, and I had a blah about it here in the ’08 list.
Stepping up to the unenviable task of officially remixing (rather than just retooling for scene gratification) is a former guest on Stinky Grooves (and what a set of subsonic stenchworthyness he flung down!) – Mark Pritchard. The Harmonic 313 album ‘When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence‘ continues to grow in my favours but this is some other business, creating a differently conundrumonising cut of majestic proportions. Enough virulent verbosity, have a preview below and then invest in said 12″, available locally through Border and in good vinyl vendors left, right and centre elsewhere.
