London-based DJ and producer Jay Duncan collaborates with saxophonist Ben Vince on her debut release for Phantasy, introducing two wildly imaginative compositions alongside a simmering remix from Ricardo Villalobos.

From the first notes of brass, quickly melting into a lucid shuffle, it’s clear that ‘In Limbo’ exists on it’s own terms. Vince's virtuoso playing, a feature of former collaborations with the likes of Joy Orbison and Mica Levi, is here gradually manipulated by Duncan into a hugely ambitious trip. This meditative and mysterious approach draws listeners deeper into a liminal, minimal space somewhere between the Fourth World as imagined by Jon Hassell and four AM on a dancefloor in South London.

Duncan deftly raises the tension for the title track’s more percussive and arguably club-ready sibling ‘Anti-Purgatorio’, drawing out almost impossibly taut and inventive rhythms constructed around wormholes from which spill Vince’s instrumentation, washed downstream amid slippery modulations and a distinctive analogue atmosphere.

Ricardo Villalobos adds to his own superlative history of remixes with a characteristically trippy take on ‘In Limbo’. Spanning nearly fifteen-minutes, the legendary Chilean-German innovator subtly reimaginines this ambitious record in form true to both his own musical heritage as well as Duncan’s futurism.

In Limbo (Ricardo Villalobos Remix)

Out now on Rekids: lnk.to/REKIDS186

Ricardo Villalobos and Gerd Janson remix Jerome Sydenham, Fatima Njai, and Mario Punchard’s ‘Trans Afro Express’ for Rekids.

Following Sydenham, Njai and Punchard’s fresh take on Kraftwerk’s classic earlier this year, which picked up support from the likes of Optimo, India Jordan, DJ Bone, and more, Radio Slave recruits a pair of all-star remixers in Ricardo Villalobos and Gerd Janson to deliver a scintillating set of interpretations for his Rekids imprint.

Running Back’s Gerd Janson injects slap bass, funk-laden guitars, and twinkling synths over the original’s vocals for the ‘Dance’ mix, followed by a stripped-back instrumental version to kick off the A side. On the flip, Villalobos delivers a typically trippy affair, bringing constantly evolving strokes of modular mayhem and zapping percussion for over ten minutes, nervously settling into a chugging and deeply satisfying halftime groove.

"Drifting" by Ricardo Villalobos Remix

Illustrious producer Ricardo Villalobos is up to his usual trippy tricks on his latest remix, flipping Ezikiel's immersive deep house cut 'Trinidad' into a whimsical sonic excursion spanning over 16 minutes.

With the original actually longer than Villalobos' remix, this release is packed with plenty of music to dive into. The remix however strips back Ezikiel's original dancefloor workout to highlight the twangs, ripples and shimmers of traditional Trinidadian instrumentation and vocals. It's a delicate display of textures, an aspect that has been at the heart of Villalobos' material throughout his career.

'Trinidad', which also features a remix by Davide Squillace, is set for release November 2 via Celesta Recordings.
