Vlada D'Shake - Spook On EP incl. Matt G. Tatsama [SMD206]

With its haunting motifs and eerie glitch-laden effects, Vlada D’Shake provided a moment of magic with “Spook On” in March 2016. As the infectious groove-laden gem with loquacious vocal sample found its mark on dance-floors across the globe, Suffused Music now returns to the track, giving it fresh pair of remixes courtesy of Argentinean and Indian production talent.

Hailing from the Buenos Aries capital, Matias Giunta’s passion for electronic music began from an early age. Self-taught with a desire to improve and refine his craft, his Matt G moniker has enabled him to establish himself within the underground dance scene. Having joined the Sudam Recordings roster in 2010, Matt G has continued to chart an impressive path. Not wishing to tie himself down to any one genre and influenced by a gamut of sounds from tribal and funky to deep, tech and progressive house, the Argentinean producer has found himself allied to a plethora of imprints with almost a century of production credits to his name. Thus, OLD SQL, Nuevadeep and Balkan Connection have all played host to the Matt G sound. Making his Suffused Music debut, the ‘Matt G Interpretation’ opens with a soaring string progression and haunting vocal phrase before a deep house groove drops into the rhythmic space with its reverberant kick and cavernous bassline. Keeping the melodic themes central to the original, key to his remix, a new and extraordinary vocal line adds a further dimension to creating an innovative work.

From a continent replete with renowned producers, Karthikeyan Sivasankar is another artist from a notable production line. Using his Tatsama moniker, Sivasankar has carved out a sizeable niche from his Hyderabad home with his penchant for the “deeper side of progressive”. Continuing to evolve in sound and technique, a century of production credits has seen Tatsama find his music featured in the catalogues of an array of leading underground imprints that include, Wind Horse Records, Superordinate and the India-based, Juicebox Music. Debuting on Suffused Music in mid-2016 as part of the “Initializing, Vol. 10” compilation, early 2017 saw the twin-track “Oxidation” EP showcase the Indian artist’s skillset with an original EP of the highest order. Now welcoming him back to the label, the Tatsama remix of “Spook On” finds a huge bass groove allied to a strong house pattern that shines with its shuffling hi-hat cadence. Using components of Vlada D’Shake’s original to anchor his rework, a series of intermittent effects and vocal elements provide a dynamic and evolving character that reveals itself full in a stripped back breakdown. Reaching its dénouement in the third movement with a raft of additional production material and epic groove, a robotised vocal sample creates a dancefloor destroyer.

A pair of new remixes from Matt G and Tatsama sees Vlada D’Shake’s “Spook On” continue to chart a mysterious and exciting path.
