House for the weekend
Jaymo & Andy George 'Lost Loops And Broken Tapes' (Moda Black)
This first saw the light of day on the Moda Black album that was mixed by label bosses Jaymo and Andy George; its broken beats, lush strings and deep bass sound like it could have come from the Grand Central label. The track is then taken on a debauched weekend in Croatia by Marquis Hawkes, who turns it into a late-night jam, while new Moda Black talent Idamos retains the piano from the original on an intelligent rework that sounds like Gerd Janson working with Scuba, with metallic percussion, robotic bass and warehouse vibes.
