Two weeks before the release of their much anticipated new album, ‘Essay’, Karol XVII & MB Valence serve up a final EP from it on Get Physical Music.
This Polish pair has been at the heart of the European deep house scene for a decade. The Loco Records bosses have won awards for their work as well as being long-time members of the Get Physical family. Their forthcoming album is their best work yet and it features some great collaborations including with UK singer-songwriter and Ninja Tune associate Jono McCleery and, on this single, Keely Timlin.
The excellent 'Bang Bang' (Back to 2013 Mix) showcases this pair's knack for great composition with its rubbery bass and deep-cut drums. Deft synth twangs, icy hi-hats and mysterious melodies drift in and out while the vocal brings a sense of real seduction. Detailed enough for home listening but sufficiently dynamic to move the dance floor, it is a real gem.
Next come two exclusive additional versions of the second album track 'Digisong'. The digiclub version ups the drive of the drums while retaining the original's dreamy pad work and subtle bassline, and the dididub strips it back to allow those rich and bubbly drums to shine.
This is a fantastic final taster ahead of the superb full length to come.
