Artist: Triptone
Title:
Around Me Remixes E.P.
Label:
Cosmicleaf Records
Released:
4th November 2019
Triptone
is Franck Jousselin’s (better known as Kick Bong) trip-hop side
project. This re-mix places focus on the collaboration with SR
‘Around Me’, which featured on the album ‘My Life’ released
in April this year.
First
up on remix duties is Tunisian Obsqure. Who
creates a perfect balance of eastern flutes
and electronica which
lovingly cushion the vocal and
provides a cinematic feel to the piece.
Next
up is label head honcho Sideliner whose approach is far more of a
plodding four by four downtempo techno affair. It’s an interesting
enough alternative but doesn’t work as well for me as Obsqure’s
take.
To
complete the E.P. Franck dons the Kick Bong thinking cap. Here the
vocal takes centre stage for the intro slowly trickling in the
melodic keys and it takes a while before the bassline is employed.
As with the Sideliner re-mix it’s interesting enough but didn’t
work quite as well for me as Obsqure’s take.
