Unone & Western 'The Last Showdown' Review






Artist: Uone & Western




Title: Last Showdown




Label: Beat & Path



Released: 29th May









This single is a pre-cusor to the forthcoming album ‘The Lone Wrangler’ where the aim is to merge the futuristic space themed journeys of the cosmic traveller with the blues of the western cowboy.


The original piece with it’s firm piano keys, cosmic meanderings, harmonica whisps and touches of slide guitar is clearly influenced by Scandinavian artist such as Lindstrom or Todd Terje with a slight western twist. The result if you like that sound sits quite well.


This is where it gets interesting the re-mix duties have been handed to the Desert Dwellers more associated with fusing psy-chill and bass music with Bedouin instrumentation rather than an artist more associated with the original. They haven’t tried to re-write this as a psy-bass number or tried to drag the sounds towards the east. However, they have enhanced the piece and this is the version I would play.


This release will be available on Beatport and Spotify on the 29th of May and all other platforms on the 6th of June
