Dessous continues its midnight revelry of past classics with the next installment of fresh remixes, re-thinking past favourites from the back catalogue. Were excited to have three very special remixers involved here, the legendary Kevin Yost, Two Armadillos and Gruber & Nurnberg. The Discowboys was a project between label owner Steve Bug and Vincenzo that released a triplet of EPs on Dessous, celebrating their shared love for funky and infectious house music. London duo Two Armadillos (Giles Smith & Marton Dawson) also know a few things about house and produce a truly stunning groove led remix that more than pays its dues to the original. A straight up essential house with a delicate balance between party and precision. US house master Kevin Yost works Phoniques Teenage Love into a thick and heady techhouse soundscape. The Dub, included on the vinyl release works quirky percussive and melodic elements from the original into a slowly evolving pattern as Yost unleashes a masterful array of depth charge atmospherics, funk-e bass and addictive late night vibes. Tracks & The City was a secret project from back in 2005. Featuring the vocals of a once lesser known Cassy, and infusing classic acid house sensibilities with fresh minimal vibes, it perhaps marked a new direction for Dessous. Hamburg production duo Gruber & Nurnberg make their mark with a timeless tech house approach, working tight woody percussion and smooth chord stabs around a funky, latin inspired backbone.
