- Milke is the new project from Breakspoll 2004's Breakthrough producer Friendly which sees him team up with vocalist Ra Khanh. The tune started out as a cheeky bootleg that Friendly did of Le Dust Sucker's "Mandate My Ass" which could be heard on his Chew The Fat At The End CD from 2004 and together the pair reworked the tune and incorporated Ra's vocal talents on top of it. Fat Records could forsee how big the release would be so they split it the release up into 3 big 12's, of which the first two are comprised of the Lee Coombs remix and the original version.
Original
Churning in at a slow 120-5 bpms, She Says features a drawn out panpipish synth hook, chugging bassline, twangy guitar lick and a rocky house rhythm - certainly nothing you'd normally expect from a breaks tune really. Ra Khanh then compliments this with a soulful R&B vocal that blends catchy with uplifting.
Lee Coombs Remix
As can be expected from Lee, his remix blends together the sounds of acid and tribal house with breakbeat production sensibilities. Kicking off with a high-end percussive rhythm, Lee progressively adds in percussion elements into the mix and it's not long before the massive bass drums come into play with a big electro lick following soon after. Lee then expertly fits in Ra's vocals paying careful attention to pitch and drops the pan-pipe synths from the original for good measure.
For those who don't like the vocals can be treated to the instrumentals, however it just doesn't feel the same without it - well who knows what accapellas will get thrown in on top of them!
