The
Whitebear Re-mixes
Label:
Desert Trax
Released:
10th March 2014
This release contains the Desert Dwellers original version and two re-mixes with different approaches by an up and coming young Australian producer that I've not come across before “Whitebear”.
The
original starts very much in the manner of an Indian Classical piece
with gentle ambient synths and bamboo flutes. I could easily be
fooled into believing it was a piece by the Suns of Arqa. In the
second half it sounds like a slide Oud is introduced with subtle
delay. Wonderful stuff I have to say I like this track a lot.
Whitebears
Groove Mix is a completely different approach. However, in it's own
right it's also a bit of a gem, commencing with flutes and field
recordings which visually took me straight into a union with the
nature of the tropical rainforest. But don't be fooled after all this
is the Desert Dwellers and Desert Trax. He layers the predominant
instrument of this track, the Oud over slo-mo deep bass
chords that are stretched and twisted along with some lovely loops
that give an impression that the track is released in short bursts.
Halfway through the breakdown is accompanied by bleepy keys
reminiscent of early Warp tracks before resuming the initial vibe.
Whitebear's
second re-work the Psyborglitch Edit is probably the most suited to the
dancefloor of the three. Here Whitebear releases the oud between the twitches, glitches and
trailing loops. I can see this working well as an early evening
enticer to shake your rump at a psy-event. It would seem Whitebear
could well be one to watch out for in 2014.
