- You know, it took me three months after the initial release of the original version of Infusion’s Girls Can Be Cruel to understand its potential and power inside the clubs. Few understood my position as to why I didn’t “get it” sooner than I did. Well, once I understand what everyone else was raving about, I was sadly three months late, but I didn’t care; good music is good music. So after a year, Audio Therapy licenses some remixes from the Italian label Mantra Vibes with additional remixes from King Unique for a special two-pack remix package.
Everyone by now has heard KUs massive remix, but how many of you have heard the Dub? Well, King Unique’s Danger Dub goes off in a different direction than the remix. Working with mainly the “danger” vocal sample, the boys conjure up a beefy house number that hopes to get the crowed jumping around all night long. The groove isn’t has funky or lovable here, but for those who enjoys their house music with more meat while sparing the vocals only when needed, this looks to fit the bill.
Flip it around, and you find a loud-mouth-booty-romping-remix courtesy of Alex “The Psiko Garden” Dolby. His Psiko Girls Can Be Cruel in The Garden Mix is among the most head turner remixes on the market, and it’ll show once you lay it out on the dance floor. Superhuman bass kicks, that’s all it takes to build this monster. Seconds past, turning to minutes, and it just keeps building, until you hear Dolby’s signature horns blowing in. A bit anti-climatic in the middle as you would have assumed a rush of anthematic beats, but it never appears, as he doesn’t allow it to set off to orbit.
The first disc of the remix package has something to offer for those who want to rock out the party in a bang, but will find that boom not ready, or realized as they may have hoped for.
