Review: With artwork reflecting some classic James Bond-isms, Mia Mendi makes a triumphant return to Watergate Records only months after her debut. Back in remix form, no less - TH;EN, Widerberg, and Moonwalk are employed to take on Mendi's production suite, with the 'melodic techno specialists' collectively injecting some sidewinding dynamics into her originals. TH;EN goes big room on the stutter in a remix of "Distant Present" while Widerberg pulls out massive swathes of acid and huge lunges of bass reworking the title track, with Moonwalk crowning itself as the sundowner epic of this release for sure.
Review: This latest collection from Mia Koden is a great example of just how exciting the more abstract ends of the bass music spectrum can be, with four brand new mysteries to unravel. First up, the uneasy atmospherics and spooky textures of '10easy' lead the way with an unnerving feel from the off, followed by the choppy drum sweeps and high-ended hat-taps of 'Racket'. Next, 'Sludge' arrives for a gnarly march through pulsating pad swipes and clackering percussion below, before the delicate drum work and heavily delayed vocal samples of 'Apres Vous' then bring this project to a close.
