Control Me
Beef Records
Sinan Kaya’s first release on Beef Records is no slouch, as the man from Istanbul delivers Control Me and its sexy to say the least. In true Beef Records style the EP delivers an original track with two remixes by Murat Killic and Shades of Gray respectively. Kaya’s original offers a warm, nostalgic dose of deep house with catchy vocal samples used to great effect. Not relying on vocal samples alone Kaya layers organ like chords laced with a wobbly synth stab and a dirty bass line to get things grooving. It would easily work a treat in warm up duties to set the mood “on fire”.
Killic’s Trucking remix delivers a more minimal interpretation of the original, offering re-cut vocals which he is clearly having fun with. Being a stripped back allows you to appreciate the nuances of groove and space, subtlety is the key word. While this doesn't lose site of the dancefloor, you just can’t help but just want that little bit more.
Shades of Gray's Fever Pitch rework is indeed twisted, courtesy of the cut up vocal samples worked into the background throughout the track. Offering a cocktail of flavour you get a shot of disco and house for the same price. The extra samples really set this one apart with the string ensemble keeping you in check, this is dancefloor material and there’s no two ways about it.
Another consistent offering from Beef, it must be a good sign if you can’t get the vocals out of your head. “Keep on trucking baby”
