Mortar & Pestle - Itsachickthing / DST Project

  • Share
  • Before the fuss has calmed down over H.R's current release from Kosmas Epsilon this exciting label is back on the case with a remix package of Mortar & Pestle's 'Itsachickthing' and 'Dst'. First off the blocks is a Luke Chable re-take of 'It'sachickthing'. Not needing any lengthy introductions Chable gets stuck in from the start with his now trademark broken beats and glitchy percussive patterns that give his track a swing of their own. Gradually the bassline creeps in amidst contorting sounds that lurk in the backround and starts to move into another phase as the bassline changes and a piano melody takes over,soothing our senses and taking it up a notch as another gently intertwines together. The break pushes it in a deeper direction with heavy cutting up of the beats while a timid string melody floats in tandam before stepping back up a gear again with the addition of rez'd bassline and meatier drum programming that all seems to dissipate into nothingness at its end. The second remix sees Kristo Beyrouthy aka Kaybee take a look at "Dst project" who turns out a mix that's not quite genre fitting , more a collection of many elements and familiar sounds that meld together to make a darkend techy groove. Nice idea but gets a bit overshadowed by Chable's massive take.
