Big Tunes: January '16
The tunes you need to check this month
5 I-Robots feat Donna McGhee
'Dirty Talk' (Radio Slave Magnetic Feel remix) (Opilec)
An excellent four-track EP with a typically strung out and spooky 12-minute remix by none other than Radio Slave. Already being hammered by Dixon, once you hear the thundering bassline and NY diva vocal, you'll understand why.
It goes "I thought of you as ecstasy..."
Best mix Radio Slave's, of course.
Out End of December.
6 Clarian
'Space Noir' Kompakt
Kompakt have had a great 2015 with albums from The Orb, Kölsch and Lora. Now they close things down with an EP from Guy Gerber favourite Clarian. We're digging the staccato Cocoon-shaped synths and production of lead track 'Space Noir' most of all.
It goes Dom dom dom dum dum der dum.
Best mix There's only one.
Out Now as part of the EP.
