The last of the summer bangers are in
Kurd Maverick 'The Rub Remixed' (Kitball)
You may remember this from 2006, when it was one of Pete Tong’s Essential New Tunes and garnered support from Carl Cox, Loco Dice and Wink. This re-release features remixes from label owners Tube & Berger vs Juliet Sikora and DJ Fronter. The first remix, from Tube & Berger vs Juliet Sikora, has crunchy claps, solid drums, an elastic bassline, distorted vocals and an analogue squelch that dances about with every tweak. There’s also a revisited remix that boosts the original for 2016, while DJ Fronter’s contribution will appeal to techno heads with his peak-time rework.
