Deep House
Side 1. Full Moon (Detroit Swindle remix)Side 2. Gudu Gudu Kan (Daz-I-Kue remix)
The recent collaborative EP from London-based Afrobeat star Dele Sosimi and established deep house and disco producer Medlar was simply superb, with the fusion of the two artists' disparate styles working wonderfully well. Hopes are naturally high then for this remixed version. Dutch deep house stalwarts Detroit Swindle handle side A, cannily layering Sosimi's vocals and Afro-funk keys over a squelchy analogue synthesizer bassline and reverb-laden, proto-house style drums. It's a very good revision all told. On the flip West London scene veteran Daz-I-Kue does his thing with 'Gudu Gudu Kan', smartly re-imagining it as a prime slice of loose-limbed Afrobeat/broken beat fusion that makes of the most of Sosimi's Fela-style horns and vocals.
