Review: If broken beat can be separated into two broad schools of thought, the soulful, jazzy side and the wonkier, more experimental side - which I've just decided it can - then it's safe to say we're firmly in the former camp with this three-track, six-mix EP from Irish duo Searchlight and friends. 'We Could Be More' features [KSR] and as remixed by Wipe The Needle is an R&B-ish shuffler with strong hints of early 80s electrofunk, Atjazz's rub of 'Can We Go Back' (featuring fellow Dubliner Tolu Makay on vox) is a laidback slice of late-night contemporary soul and Afroforce's mix of 'Breathe' (feat. Tolu Makay and Mark force) brings the soul-jazz vibes. All three remixes come with matching instrumentals.
Review: Fur Coat is taken from Oscar Hopkinson aka Littlecigarette's recent debut album titled Omega on Fallen Tree 1Hundred, the label curated by UK dance music legend Goldie. Rekids main man Radio Slave steps up for a couple of remixes of the track here; his Pressure dub remix takes in '90s style dub, electronica, breakbeats and techno motifs throughout his intricate nine minute rework. The instrumental remix eases off some elements to create the perfect heads-down moment for the later hours on the club dancefloor.
