King Midas Sound – Remix LP





Hype Machine is streaming this remix album of King Midas Sound (group composed of producer Kevin Martin, female vocalist Hitomi, and London/Trinidad poet/singer Roger Robinson). These remixes are taken from their 2009 dubstep/dancehall (whatever that means) release Waiting for You... Check what Hype Machine had to say about the remix ep below.

"Seriously, the contributor list reads like a who's-who, and shows you just how much Martin is respected by his peers. The biggest surprise is probably the appearance of Scritti Politti ringleader Green Gartside, who re-vocals 'Come And Behold' in his oft-copied, never-bettered whiteboy soul croon. Other favourites? Kuedo's chrome-plating of 'Goodbye Girl' in shiny, celebratory, Severant-style form is a winner, while Mala threatens to mash down Babylon with his beautifully poised 'Earth A Kill Ya' version. Flying Lotus impresses with his trippy, minimal but dirt-encrusted take on 'Lost', and Nite Jewel reimagines the same track as a poppy, sultry synth-funk jam, before Hype Williams steer 'Sumtime' into a kind of righteous, dub-wise VHS psychedelia. Kode9 and Spaceape reduce 'Meltdown' to a lean garage chassis, and Deepchord/Echospace give 'Goodbye Girl' their expansive dub-techno treatment."
