Single title:
My Life at 33 Remix EP
Artist:
Dr Rubberfunk
Label:
GPS Recordings
Since the release of My Life at 33 in 2006, Dr Rubberfunk has continued to gather fans from across the world, and various remixers including Yam Who?, Wrongtom, Dan Shannon, Protassov, Ancient Astronauts and Broken Beatnicks have joined together to produce this remix EP. Yam Who?'s version on Theme for a Latter-Day Lothario has a very cool, laidback soul vibe. Simple yet effective, this track is a great opener for the rest of the release. Wrongtom provides a different slant on the classic tune, bringing in elements of drum and bass to give it a harder, edgier sound, with slow, sleazy background beats. Another stand-out is Taking Over, this time remixed by Broken Beatniks, with an electro-funk, uplifting feeling, perfectly complemented by Bridgette Amofah's vocals and a jazzy undertone. Overall a fitting tribute to the originals. [Karen Taggart]
