the second 12 from VINCENZO's second, brilliant album "welcome to zanarkand" features three reworks of the original track by another impressive, internation remixer cast. one of uk's deepest, the excellent CHARLES WEBSTER strikes with a long building groover sporting his typical pushing, dirty organ chords, pizzicato strings and beautiful sax lines dropped in after a nice break with vocal chorus. acclaimed US producer JT DONALDSON picks up the pace with bouncing organ chords and skipping, almost uk-garage flavoured beats - keeping it more minimal, Donaldson brings a maximum amount of funk to the floor. on the flip VINCENZO really puts his head out: in teamwork with australian, jazz-trained pianist and producer SIMON GREY ( Distant, Roi) he stretches the original to 12 minute long "late night dub" - with a soulful bassline and thoughtful, bluesy piano improvisation every single second of this mix is pure joy.
A terrific minimal house EP that strips everything back to the essentials: a faint hint of synth and a big, driving beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2024
