Moving right along on this prolific run of locally-sourced talent, our next vestige invokes the latest from local DJ/producer & friend, Michel Fournier, aka Meech, and his solo effort for Demento Mori. We should mention that the EP doesn’t officially drop for another 10 days, so consider this fair warning before the digital-distribution firestorm ensues.
Combining a classic house essence, with an even more groovy, lounge-inspired tech-house romanticism, the lone original on the release, I Want, presents a solid argument for classic, well-conceived, 4/4 dance music. Tasteful vocal and percussion samples bring this one to life from the very beginning, leaving you wanting more (pun whole-heartedly intended). From there, the remix efforts by D Fine, Raziek, Square Mode & Olibusta carry the original idea cross multi-dimensional terrains, touching on climates and attitudes both hostile and sensual.
A classic example of strength in numbers here, with Olibusta‘s rendition standing out as the sleek, slow-moving black Cadillac of the bunch, granted the others are certainly not far behind. Raziek recreates the piece with an entirely new set of R&B-drenched samples; D Fine keeps it sexy with a fun, free-wheeling house vibe; while Square Mode delves a little bit further into the shadows.
