Following the release of their latest album Rising & Falling, the duo return with a brilliant remix package centered around one of the standout tracks from the album. Titled “Can’t Hurt You” the track features the sublime vocal talents of Kim Ann Foxman. Fans of the album will be well versed with the delicate floating synths and memorable vocals of the supremely-talented Miss Foxman from the original album version. But this release is all about the three remixes from Guti, Russ Yallop, and Just Be!
Desolat’s Argentinean supremo Guti offers his own refreshing take on the original, injecting some serious South American funk and flavor to proceedings. From the outset Guti stamps his unmistakable groove on the original taking the tempo up a level and adding new keys and vocal samples, culminating in a fantastic dance floor orientated remix.
Next up is one of Crosstown Rebels leading lights Russ Yallop who lends his hand to create a trippy yet sensuous version of the original. His remix is characterised by striking deep bass and a jacking kick which take centre stage. The remix builds and builds into a swirling distorted crescendo until it drops back into its absorbing big-room beat.
Completing this package is a special dub by Just Be, one of Matt Bushwacka!’s aliases. It takes the listener on a much more hypnotic journey. While the subtle synths and haunting vocals of the original remain, these are complemented by adding new percussive elements to the track, taking it to new sonic depths. Overall then fans can expect yet another strong remix package from Layo & Bushwacka! which features three extremely high-quality versions of the fantastic original.
Tracks include:
- Can’t Hurt You (Guti Remix)
- Can’t Hurt You (Russ Yullop Remix)
- Can’t Hurt You (Just Be Deep Dub)
