Happy Boxing Day T&D-ers. We hope you had a fun and festive December 25th, however you choose to celebrate/not celebrate! It’s a quiet week for new releases but there are a few recent remixes worth a mention.
Lou Hayter – Check It (Radio Slave Remix)
Fresh from claiming the top spot on our best albums of 2021 run down, Lou Hayter’s ‘Private Sunshine’ is not done just yet. Late in the year we got a deluxe version of the album with remixes and a new track in the shape of ‘Check It’. That track now has its own Radio Slave remix package and goes into trippy sci-fi disco territory which of course is right up our street.
Confidence Man – Holiday (Erol Alkan Rework)
ConMan gave us a top ten track of the year with the fun filled ‘Holiday’ – a single which sounded like pure joy to us. We were even more excited to bag a ticket for their show in Cambridge in May hot on the heels of their sophomore album ‘Tilt’ which comes the month before that gig date. ‘Holiday’ has a rework courtesy of the legend that is Erol Alkan – adding extended laser-fired discohouse power.
Baltra – Baby (Ariel Zetina Remix)
We rushed off to listen to this remix package at the mention of Ariel Zetina. This remix of Baltra’s ‘Baby’ opens gently and begins as a dreamy minimal house cut. The beats kick in eventually for added hypnotic impact.
Alivenique – Tune In (Crush Club Remix)
Alivenique makes her debut on T&D and we found her thanks to Crush Club who we have featured a heap of times. ‘Tune In’ is a chugging banger on the Crush Club rework with flashes of uplifting tropical house too. Alivenique’s album ‘Year of the Statement’ will arrive next year.
Teases and Dares
