Review: 15 months after their collaborative album, 'MEXTAPE' landed in digital download stores, Ali X and Ximena offer up a third EP featuring fresh reworks of tracks from that set. As the title makes clear, the revisions on show are all rooted in house music, though often draw influence from other styles as well. For proof, check Marinko's EP-opening tweak on 'Banana Juz', which joins the dots between intergalactic electro and analogue-rich deep house, and Javier Martinez's new wave-goes-house re-wire of 'Vaija Volaras'. Elsewhere across the EP, Pvlomo delivers a deliciously low-slung, sub-heavy, mind-mangling tweak of 'Calor', Disco 86 re-imagines 'F*K U TIL U LUV ME' as a dirty and sleazy hip-hop head-nodder (complete with Mexican rap), and Lucia Haze's rework of 'Vaija Volaras' is a cheery, synth-heavy reggae-house shuffler.
