Two years of exploration separate Acid Washed from their first eponymous album. After voguing around the World around the clock, buoyed by their touring experience and many encounters, they’re grown and back with « House Of Melancholy ». First extract of this album produced by Joakim and with a dream line-up (Miss Kittin, Turzi, Yan Wagner, Hypnolove’s Henning Specht, Prince 85, La Muerte & Neoman, Plastique de Rêve, are on the marquee), « Fire N’ Rain » evokes the ethylic aftertaste of a dazzling and nocturnal youth, distill of transient love. A nice collection of remixes comes with the original version to which Ahmad Larnes, talented vocalist based in Brooklyn, lent his voice.
Whiz kid of the Montreal electronic scene, Kaytranada may draw his influences from 90s R’n’B as well as Glitch-Hop or at the roots of House music, to deliver a cross-brid yet very personal sound. If his name rings a bell, it must be through one of his unexceptionable remixes over-played on Soundcloud (notably Janet Jackson’s « If »). Without slipping on the nostalgic slope, he offers a fresh and compellingly groovy edit.
Fire N’ Rain (STUFF Remix)
Spotted by labels such as Space Factory, PayPerView and Proud Records, supported by the Hot Creations team and Amine Edge, STUFF embodies the rebirth of the French House scene. Breathing a catchy nocturnal tension into « Fire N’ Rain », he reveals incontestable production skills and an outstanding feeling of the dance-floor.
Fire N’ Rain (Scratch Massive Remix)
We know the Parisian duo’s fondness for techno, melancholic 80’s pop or electro-rock. It’s here in a radical club format that the versatile Scratch Massive honoured us with their presence. Dark and catchy, play it loud!
Fire N’ Rain (Theatre Of Delays Remix)
Tommy Theatralo aka Theatre Of Delays often gives himself up to the game of remixing, gladly breaking the walls between genres. The Berliner tackled « Fire N’ Rain » wielding cosmic arpeggios and funky basslines like weapons, and took up the challenge again, with verve.
Fire N’ Rain (The KDMS Remix)
Post-Underground? Retro-Pop? The sound of the London based duo The KDMS is immediate and unclassified. Members of the Gomma crew, Max Skiba and Kathy Diamond turned « Fire N’ Rain » into a discoïd club hit. You are not alone in the disco, baby!
Fire N’ Rain (Radiomentale & Laure Milena Ambient Remix)
Unpredictable as always and for our greatest joy, Radiomentale and Laure Milena took « Fire N’ Rain »
to the languorous meanderings of this shaded progressive remix. A ten minutes deep-sea trip.
