Unknown Artist - Kill / You Get Over
Label / C.O.M.B.i.
Cat # / C.O.M.B.i. 06
Released / February 2010
Style / Edits
Rating / 4

As DJ Harvey esteemed a few months ago on Beats in Space, Eric Duncan makes the best edits out there. Harvey then dropped a recent reworking of Dolly Parton's "Potential New Boyfriend" to prove the point. Whether he's stretching TK Disco obscurities to ecstatic lengths of working Boney M's kinda corny historical disco track "Ma Baker" to where only the menacing line of "Born to hang/ They charged with blazing guns" remains, Duncan can take almost anything and make the floorboards catch fire.

Much like his "Ma Bakes" edit, "Kill" melds the fun and funky with some darker sentiment. A clopping beat skyrockets up to arcing horn lines, orchestral stabs and a choir hissing "Kill! Kill! Kill!" That they then shout "Take me higher! Wooooo!" shoots it into the stratosphere. Devastating. With the twitchy and quick synth squiggles that open "You Get Over," one might think they're getting an acid rework from the man, only to have it flower into yet another sweet, pumping disco track (lots of handclaps, coked-out guitar picking and synth washes in the back) replete with diva vocals urging you to "get up and get down" that make it a killer cut as well.

Wed, 07 Apr 2010This is such a dope release... Now all we need is 'Stop Playin'' and 'How We Do in NYC' to have the best releases from the comp last year on vinyl!

Fri, 19 Mar 2010Kill is absolutely devastating, indeed. Favorite of 2010 so far.

Fri, 19 Mar 2010Why do we go through the pretense of putting Unknown Artist if it's clearly Duncan?
