Oddkut & Hotcut - "Mangal Sound" (Cesco remix) - (5:36) 133 BPM
Review: The Duploc team have a real knack for finding and unleashing explosive compilation drops, with this latest 8-track war-tape being another one to add to the arsenal, focussing on some potent remix action. Opening up with Mystic State's dreamscape-driven rethink of 'Voice' from Opus, we know we are in for a good time, with 11th Hour then giving Ourman's 'Bad Things' an electrifying overhaul next to the grungy synth pulses and grizzly drums of Woven Thorns' rework of 'One Time' from Juss B. There is no letting off the gas as AxH lets the bit crushers loose on his potent rethink of JSM's '1893', next to the eastern inspired melodic drifts of SBK's 'The Vihaan' remix from ColtCuts, the choppy LFO sweeps of Cesco's 'Mangal Sound' redesign from Oddkut & Hotcut and of course Mungk's sub-heavy switch up of 'Schreddzzz' from Rygby. Finally, Drumterror fires off a stuttering display of vocal chops and large melodic action on his 'Puli Kali' overhaul, giving Mungk's original one final rethink to round off the compilation in style.
