Medlar has spent well over a decade carving out his own corner of UK dance music, moving freely between deep house, disco, bruk beat and beyond. He’s also part of the extended Razor-N-Tape family, most recently appearing alongside Daisybelle with “Body Ache” on the label’s Family Affair Vol. 5.
That connection comes full circle on his new Celestial Bodies EP, with RNT co-head honcho JKriv stepping in to remix “Solar,” Medlar’s collaboration with South African vocalist mtsjungles. JKriv takes the loose, soulful character of the original somewhere decidedly more dancefloor-focused, pushing the track into classic early 90s Italo disco territory.
We have the pleasure of premiering the JKriv remix of “Solar,” taken from Celestial Bodies, out September 25th on Delusions of Grandeur.
