Hodge Remixes In Blue
Anz, Surgeon, Shanti Celeste, AYA, Kush Jones, and Facta & K-Lone remix Hodge's 'Shadows In Blue' album in rolling and swanging UK rave styles Surgeon delivers a superb plush harmonic techno roller in his supple but bristling take on the title track, and Anz supplies another highlight with her Shed-like brickbat twist on 'Lanes.' AYA also impresses with a stringently minimalist but playful tweak of 'Ghost Of Akina' recalling Autonomic D&B explorations, and the only non-UK artist on board, Kush Jones flips 'The World Is New Again' into a needlepoint footwork joint with breathless ambient pads. Shanti Celeste plays it straightest with a percolated take on 'Lanacut', and K-Lone & Facta screw 'Sense Inversion' with proper UK swing beats.
