Crossing Borders



Sometimes you run into a song which changes things drastically. Herve's dub remix of his own 'Science of Fear' smashes it; electro vocals and synths flatter, before a wonky beats and reggae style drumbeats crash around the track. Well-produced; as you would imagine, the vocal
 climbs towards a second altogether more viscious drop. Herve has done something special with this track, its varied nature creating a beautiful synthesis of dubstep and electro. Moreover the track forms a progression - it flows well, is engaging and especially epic.


On a completely different note, french house is having a revival; but the French have nothing to do with it. Sidechains are from Barcalona, and Louis La Roche (otherwise know an Night Facilities) is an 18 year old hailing from home shores. Sidechains' remix of 'Peach' from Louis' debut EP is a bouncy, upbeat affair which sees Sidechains cut up the original, leaving the distinctive synths but effectively giving the song a dancefloor bodykit.
