Give Them 1/2 And The Moon Too

When Victoria BC’s Michael Beggs made his debut on Feral One Records with his EP, Way You Feel, he demonstrated his identity as a music producer who can explore the emotional depth of his audience.

Now with the new remix package for “Mad Hatter,” the final track on the EP, it’s clear that Beggs, deep down, prefers to have his audience going freakin’ crazy on the dancefloor.

The Mad Hatter is the ringleader of the off-their-rocker cast of hooligans in Alice in Wonderland, and these four remixes demonstrate how Beggs leads his audience into total insanity.

Beginning with his own VIP of “Mad Hatter,” Beggs sets the tone of the remixes good and nutty. Where his original captured the power of minimalism, he doesn’t hold anything back on the VIP. The fog horn that lands on the second drop isn’t a fog horn at all. It’s a roar of gruesome energy punctuated by some happy melodic instances that are like makeup and a cruel smile that (used to) keep the crazy at bay.

The second remix takes things in a breakbeat direction. Because of the scattered drums, breaks always have more room for madness. Especially when they’re produced by the Feral One veteran, EMUH. As the Seattle stalwart has done on numerous FO releases before this, EMUH understands the (loony) assignment. Extended vocal samples and forward-moving chords dance around each other while other seemingly random effects like backspins appear out of nowhere. It’s insane. But it totally works.

dopecreature’s deep tech rework is all about controlled madness. The track starts with jittery samples buzzing around the steady and solid four-on-the-floor. A little teaser of the mood swing that’s about to hit. Suddenly an epic synth build-up akin to the unmistakable THX intro rumbles up from nothing before massive amalgams of sound design burst through the seams. It’s hard to believe such a tight-knit beat could contain what was hiding beneath the surface.

Then for the finale, Phrase takes his remix into a direction that is probably most often labeled “mad” in all of dance music: drum & bass. And yet, he was able to find even more madness with circular synths hypnotizing listeners like an undulating pocket watch while the drums exist at the maximum level of erratic. Feral One doesn’t put out much D&B, but when they do, it’s always welcome.

this is a  song giving thanks and  honor to God for his grace and mercy, and for sending  his only begotten Son.  Whom shed his blood to give life to a dying world.
