Review: An eight-minute slice of celebratory slinky funk, Do What You Feel originally appeared on this veteran DJs Universe Of Love album. Now it's back in remixed form to keep the party going nicely. This time there are three incarnations - JN Revival's deep and punchy vintage handbaggy vibes, Supernova's bassier stoned acid and the warm funky house joy of Steve Mill's rework.
What Do You Feel Free About? (Man Power remix) - (7:30) 125 BPM
Review: Strangely, DFA chose not to do much promotion on this latest single from long-serving label stalwart the Juan MacLean. It seems a little odd, because "What Do You Feel Free About?" is one of MacLean's most attractive singles for sometime. Seemingly a thinly veiled commentary on America in 2018 featuring vocals from regular collaborator Nancy Whang, the track is a rip-roaring fusion of whistle-heavy late '80s Chicago house, boisterous organ-heavy New York house and the kind of driving, percussion-rich disco that MacLean has always done so well. Man Power drags the track down a sleazy sex dungeon on his terrific accompanying remix, which re-casts the track as a stomping, arpeggio-driven slab of muscular late night house rich in dark arpeggio lines, reverb-laden organs and all manner of mind-altering electronics.
Review: Before we give you a taster of the music within, it's imperative that we praise London's Plastician for his contribution to UK dance music; grime and dubstep in particular. The Croydon bossman was there in the early days of pre-dubstep, and his sets are still some of the best bits of DJing you'll ever here; scout his sets out on old grime blogs and you'll know what we mean. Here he is in 2016 on Terrorhythm, and his new outlook has a lot more in common with R&B and pop than with grime. "Do What You Feel" is a deep, sensual bass sweller, while "Sonic Anxiety" is one for the downtempo heads, and if you thought that wasn't deep enough, there's even a beatless remix of "DO What You Feel".
