Review:
Ital Tek certainly doesn't mess about. After the release of his second long player Midnight Colour earlier this month, he returns with the Moment In Blue EP. The title track gets the VIP treatment plus remixes from Hyperdub's hottest, and latest, signing, Ikonika, as well as Falty DL. Ikonika's interpretation sees her signature melodic sound imparted on the original to great effect; think thumping bass, sweetly scented atmospherics and infectious groove. Falty DL, on the other hand, strips it all back to the bare essentials creating a soothing, pared down cut with laidback aplomb and decisive minimalism. Dividing the two remixes is "Crush Horizon", with gently warping synth sounds, a buzzing b-line driving it along, with melodic flourishes and a smooth, polished feel. The aforementioned VIP version of "Moment In Blue" is a heavier, chunkier re-fix than the rest, and the EP finishes up with the pulsating hip-hop tempo and click-clop-bleep pattern of "Infinity", replete with anguished vocal snatches and smatterings of horns.
