With the press now getting all excited about the release of the new Toob album "Push Me, Pull You" (See this month's DJ Mag, iDJ, Clash, Artrocker and more) and radio across the board picking their favourite tracks from the album, Process Recordings presents a remix package of the album's second track "Skinbox". Simultaneously a great groove and a sinister lyric, it could be a clever pop duet.
This remix collection crosses a huge range of styles: Jon Kennedy's reconstruction adds a live bass and the breadth of perfectly chosen, unignorable musical detail that is the trademark of his work on the labels Grand Central and Tru Thoughts. The contrast between lyrics and music make the remix, where the Le Sarge En Board Boardroom mix and dub go for a more hypnotic effect, taking the track into darker, housier territory. And Berlin-based Espion combines the epic and the very human to great effect - an unrelenting bassline and a stuttering rhythm section versus the vocal, now divided into separate parts (man vs. woman) for Toob's Jakeone and the album's regular contributor Wendy Stubbs of Alpha.
