Exclusive Premiere: Footshooter “Malaika” (William Florelle Remix)
Footshooter ‘Libations & Movement EP’ The remixes
After the amazing Libations & Movement EP release of summer 2020, Footshooter is back with a hand picked bunch of top producers on remix duties.
Repurposed and reimagined, the remixes go on a journey. From the delicate rolling Deep House vibes of William Florelle on ‘Malaika ft MO.MOYO. Florelle is a fast growing producer talent championed by the likes of Wot Not Music among others.
To the mesmerising tribal bruk drum track from Fernando Damon, a drummer and producer from Cape Town, South Africa and Gilles Peterson fave. Fernando takes ‘Catch My Breath’ on a drum workout! It just keeps you locked in as the horns from Wilf Petherbridge build in and around this intensely hypnotic drum pattern. It commands attention!
Then into some low fi skippy House niceness, ‘Lay’ ft Natty Wylah is remixed by the elusive Jackson Almond. (BBE, Wot Not, Eton Messy) Straight up dance heat, big biznez but somehow still maintains a laid back vibe. And if that wasn’t enough, Jackson also delivers a heavy Bruk jam of ‘Malaika’ ft MO.MOYO. This time with synth lasers and big basslines, ripe for dance!
Xtra Brux brings a ruff and tuff rendition of ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy risk, but keeps it on a level, allowing her full vocal to shine, if you know Brux this is unusual!
Then from Tiff’s Joints Boss and Touching Bass member Sean Keating aka Poison Zcora, is another hypnotic tribal drum groove. ‘Malaika’ ft MA.MOYO, this time with a steady 4 x 4 riddim dancing with the congas and bass synth, while MA.MOYO’s vocal reminds us of that deep deep bass!
Finishing off with a more cinematic and ambient vibe from Romaal Kultan, flipping ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy Risk on its head and into a dream, lying in the grass with daisies, looking into the sky making shapes out of clouds! Seriously tho, this went on repeat about 20 times!! Just beautiful, no more words needed really !
