BLOG BURNER:
As vocals reminiscent of 90's RnB command your attention from the very start of this dub-laden love song it is hard to notice the growling 808's which rumble away underneath. By half way through however, it's a different story. With a beat which could very easily slay the darkest of underground parties, swelling sub-bass envelops the listener, drawing them deeper into it's vibrating foundation. We know nothing of Encore , 2000F or J Kamata so if someone wants to enlighten us that would be great....

This has been threatening a leak for a long time now, and why it wasn't included on the remix EP is beyond us, but finally we have a full length copy of Villa's remix of Adele. Possibly one of their finest remixes to date, the mix retains the powerful vocals of the original, welding them to a solid undertow of elastic basslines, big chords and classic strings. Keep an ear out for their Yeasayer remix as well, it's a beaut.

Next up, that rather annoying wee pleb by the name of Chris Brown has gone and enlisted Diplo to produce his next single 'Look At Me Now'. The beat is of course straight heat, with Diplo's trademark 'bounce n' bleep' making this accessible to the hip-hoppers and dub-skankers alike. Pity Chris Brown got there first, we really don't want to hear about your dick mate. Thankfully Busta & Wayne rip it...

It's been a while since we heard anything from Style Of Eye, last year's 'Puss Puss' ruled a good portion of 2010 and it's nice to hear his manic production back in full swing. As you would expect it's all about disturbing twitches and noises which could induce sporadic sectioning on the dancefloor. With Harvard Bass providing a perverse original, this remix was always going to come on like a post-apocalyptic, war-anthem.
