Gareth Whitehead - 7/10
The Brood Remixes 1 (Bulletdodge Records)
Whitehead's stunning debut album 'The Brood' dropped a few months ago with amazing collaborations with Marshall Jefferson, X Press 2, Eddie Fowlkes, Darren Emerson, Carl Cox and Adamski, to name but a few. Here, some of the tracks get remixed. Ibizan legend DJ Alfredo gets in the studio with Lee Pennington to do his first ever remix, taking on Gareth's track with Mia Wallace and Sqyre. This will take you by surprise as they turn in an acid-tinged late-night destroyer that breaks into an end-of-night classic string anthem. Jan Cree does an excellent twilight tech makeover of Whitehead and Andy Slate's 'Sustain.' The Revenge, fresh from his excellent debut album, turns in a stripped-back, shadowy remix of my own and Gareth Whitehead's 'In Mind'. The pick of the bunch is the Alfredo & Lee Pennington remix.
