linkwood - expressions remixes part 1 - firecracker recordings - vinyl

New Copy

Genre: House

1. Object (Ghosts Of The Sky remix)
2. Love Lost (Nummer remix)

For the first in a series of reinterpretations of material from Linkwood's superb Expressions album, Firecracker Recordings has turned to Chicago deep house veterans Ghosts of the Sky (AKA Perpetual Rhythms� Chicagodeep and Taelue), and fast-rising machine abusers Nummer ! Silkscreened artwork by House Of Traps & Al White - Strictly limited vinyl

The latter dive into an aquatic techno tip, turning the becalmed and melancholic "Love Lost" into a techno-tempo stroll through vintage Carl Craig chords, sweaty machine percussion, and yearning melodies. There's a warmer and heavier, if surprisingly stripped back, feel to Ghosts of the Sky's version of "Object", with spluttering electronics and sumptuous chords stretching out over a rich synth bassline and hissing, cymbal-heavy groove.
