Skinnerbox 'Darkroom Dub Edits #2' (darkroom dubs)
It’s been some time since the first edits were released on Silicone Soul’s edits label. Skinnerbox takes on post-punk band Bauhaus’ 1979 track ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ – and while it’s not an obvious choice, it ticks plenty of boxes by being respectful to the original yet taking it to the dancefloor in 2016. The flip then gives a similar treatment to the Pixies song ‘Gauge Away’: these gothic and grunge tracks might both be unusual choices for edits, but Skinnerbox does a great job and leaves us wanting more in the future.
