Review: Crimewave's Altercation focused on the dangerous side of nightlife in the north of England - now these remixes add further resonance to the original material. While the 96 Back remix of "50 Rapid" retains a dreamy undercurrent, the Deft take on "Aftermath" pushes in a different direction. Led by a moody bass and chattering percussion, it seethes with understated menace. On the Folly Group interpretation of the same track, a similar sensibility prevails, albeit at a slower pace. Funereal beats and brooding bass sound track this death-paced version. Meanwhile, the Not Fit For Purpose remix of "Metropolitan Police" features sirens wailing in the background, but the dreamy vocal samples and hazy textures provide some reprieve from the grimy reality of violent, blood-spattered streets.
