Review: New Zealand duo BAVHU team up with Malta's Husko and Italy's Gigi Croccante for a release on Russian label Lisztomania. In its Vocal Mix form, 'Ultrafunk' is a hi-octane slice of disco-house augmented by an incessantly looping rap vocal snip - "back to funk, freak the funk, hype the funk, swipe the funk and all that junk" - which is then stripped out on the Disco Mix, allowing the strings to take the lead instead. There's a matching radio edit too, but the killer here is Croccante's remix, which treads broadly the same disco-house path but in a deeper, denser, sweatier and ultimately far more satisfying kinda way.
