From goth to groove in 24 hours. Today, I was up early and not in the mood to move. Thankfully, Australia's Angus Gruzman aka Dreems has remedied that with the infectious Opium Tiger, Flying Again. It's a rework of a 2019 song and all the better for it, nearly 13 minutes of groove, that changes tack about halfway. There's also a very indie guitar snippet, which got me thinking of Pink Industry at one point. The remix EP, out today, includes further versions of Flying Tiger by Japan's Zongamin and two from Canada's The Mole, all worth your time and hard earned pennies.
Next up, and out earlier this month, is the UNKLE remix of Krust's Hegel Dialect from his 2020 album, The Edge Of Everything. In typical back-to-front fashion, I haven't heard the album yet, but this remix package (TEOE Remixes #3) is spot on. I think the last UNKLE remix I picked up was in 2015 so this is a welcome surprise.
What will come as no surprise is that Sean Johnson aka Hardway Bros delivers a killer groove on his remix of French producer Margee's Wrong Dream, from the In My Sleep EP released last Friday. 11 minutes of pulsing beats and shimmering synths that feels way too short. Both the Krust and Margee packages include essential remixes from Bristol legend and founding member of The Wild Bunch, Milo Johnson, in his DJ Nature guise.
