Review: "Hippocampe" featured on Zombie Zombie's 2017 album Livity, and now Versatile has commissioned some fine remixes. Jan Schulte aka Wolf Muller, who releases on Themes For Great Cities, delivers two versions. The first take is a spaced out house jam that moves through phased filters and into live drums, taking the audience on a cosmic journey. The second version, dubbed the 'Healthy' remix, sees the cult producer drop a more abstract version, with abstract noise and tinny synths unravelling over an off the wall rhythm. Maintaining a sense of normality, Versatile boss Gilb'r drops a leaner, more dance floor focused version with his 'Triangle Dub'.
Review: One of the most glaring misconceptions regarding I:Cube's excellent fifth album M:Megamix was its format of swiftly veering through the 26 tracks was allowing Nicolas Chaix to lazily avoid the task of actually producing full tracks. This is clearly not the case, with Chaix and Versatile choosing to release extended DJ friendly versions of the album tracks over a series of EPs, with "YOUROCK", "Popular Electronics" and "In Alpha" featuring on this latest edition. The three tracks are a nice primer of the smorgasbord of sounds to expect on the album for those yet to indulge, with the bleep infused techy chug of "YOUROCK" complemented by the EBM thump of "Popular Electronics" and the new romantic disco glisten of "In Alpha."
Review: The Versatile main man and one half of Chateau Flight doesn't drop as many singles these days as he used to, but at least when he holds off he can come correct with some firepower for the floor. Sizzling hats and a solid disco beat set the tone for "Transpiration" while the meat of the track comes in the form of a nasty old-skool rave stab. It's a monster tune that should get sweat pouring from anything in a five-mile radius. The title track is a pacey, Italo flavoured cut that seems to intentionally challenge the demonic moniker, while "Jah Menta" opts for a deeper shade of disco. Highly recommended.
