Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Morillo & Nunez Dirty dub mix) - (6:29) 128 BPM
Owner Of A Lonely Heart (Romero mix) - (7:03) 128 BPM
Review: Morillo's Subliminal label continues a solid run this year with this insanely catchy number from Nunez and Baggi Begovic. There is no getting away from the famous vocal sample which instantly brings it to the mainstream, and the retro bassline and snappy house beats make it even more crossover. If you feel it is a little too gimmicky the main man steps up for a a Dirty Dub remix that strips back on the vocal and takes it back into the underground clubs, most definitely where its at and sounding much more at home with Subliminal. Romero delivers with an acid laded mix to complete the package nicely.
Review: There's something a little bit silly about this beefy mash-up extravaganza from Actual Sounds. Take lead cut "59th Street Groove", for example. Built around a ribcage-rattling wobble bassline and snappy breakbeats, it twice breaks down to reveal an extended Simon & Garfunkel sample. Really. It does work, mind. Elsewhere, you'll find a crunchy fusion of wobble-heavy hip-hop and funk-rock licks (Big Bang Breaks' "B Boy Flip Trick"), while Mr Mezdup sticks ten tons of TNT up the backside of Yes's party standard "Owner of a Lonely Heart". Wasted On Wax draw proceedings to the close with a heavy breakbeat tweak of Prince's oh-so-Balearic singalong "Raspberry Beret".
Review: Ever turn up to a slightly strange but inviting house party to find a DJ playing a list of your favourite tracks - although you have no idea where they're from? It's label like Minimatic that keep the party going for another decade. Where electro-swing goes for sped up ballroom and big band jazz, Minimatic's approach to genre reformation takes the likes of UK pop (Oasis and "Owner of A Lonely Heart"), US hip hop ,(Eminem, Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga) to slices of R&B via Ed Sheeran and dresses them up latin rhythms of baile and urban funk, adding touches of turntablism, jazzy horns and keys to lowriding grooves.
