Remixes – Nina Simone

Description

Three incredible reimaginations of Nina Simone classics from Francois K Tony Humphries and Coldcut each with their own unique touch and trademark style weaved withinFrancois K kicks off with a sublime deep house rework of Here Comes The Sun Reminiscent of Larry Heards output Francois nods to Mr Fingers with a bassline that harks back to those early Chicago classics coupled with deft mbira touches that create an otherworldy feel to the remix Celestial waves and singing rides mix with a buzzing top line melody that lay the foundations for Simones spiritual voice to hang in the air with a perpetual elegance and grace A timeless slice of house music that earned Francois version a spot on one of Innervisions acclaimed Secret Weapons compilationsNext up Zanzibar royalty Tony Humphries lays out a bumping remix of Turn Me On turning the bluesy soul leanings of the original on their head and flipping it into an uplifting summertime groover Simones words take on a different tone with this revitalising rework backed by staccato guitars and chopped up vocal melodies that give a playful yet soulful character to this slab of sunshineRounding off the EP in classic Coldcut style the duo meld Save Me into a chopped screwed and crunched remix Lofi percussive elements and distorted textures blend with glitching samples and stuttering sequences that turn Simone into a trippedout goddess An atmospheric piece of electronica but with a harden edge purpose made for the dancefloor
