Luomo – Spy [MOOD111]

https://geo-media.beatport.com/image/4863480.jpg

Luomo aka Vladislav Delay, under a raft of names Finnish artist Sasu Ripatti, has in the last years experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals. Luomo is about experimenting with pop music, a big influence for Ripatti, and bringing it to a fusion of house, disco and electronica. His longplayer “Plus” hit the shops in October 2011 with a fine selection of songs inspired by Pop and end of the 80s Chicago vocals. For the 2nd single from the album it was obvious that Spy needed a proper single release, an imminent feel-good song with enough dancefloor appeal to be played out. The release features remixes by My Favorite Robot, Penner+Muder and Teeth.

VA – The SYNTH Remixes [SOL002]

Mike Huckaby lets loose on Vladislav Delay and Pole on this excellent 12″ for Slice Of Life. Huckaby’s S Y N T H remix of “Keno” was a considered highlight of Remasters & Remakes, Halo Cyan’s exhaustive remix project of Delay’s SISTOL recordings from the late 90s. Released only on the Double CD and as download, it was begging for a vinyl release, and thanks to Slice of Life that is now possible. One long, bubbling Motor City groove primed for the early hours of a sweaty basement, it is complemented by Huckaby’s equally fine revision of Pole’s “Silberfisch”, all driving sub bass intricacies and tightly wound metallic percussive grooves.
