brainwaltzera: medal headz

Brainwaltzera gets the remix treatment from stalwart of UK underground music, Peshay, alongside alternate versions of original material. Taking on "Medal Headz [ G.B. D. F.]," lifted from the recent Brainwaltzera LP Itsame, British drum and bass producer Peshay turns in a driving remix in a classic UK style. Rolling breaks meet a heady reese bass line and wide-angle atmospherics, put together with all the aplomb of a skilled craftsman doing what he does best. It's music made for the dancefloor, delivered in a timeless style by one of the heads of the early Good Looking Records and Metalheadz years. On the B1, Brainwaltzera takes the reigns with an extended version of the original album piece -- a valuable reminder of the impressive source material, reimagined in a new context. For the B2, the artist offers a previously interconnected phase of "Medal Headz [G. B.D.F.]" up as a track in its own right. A spellbinding IDM reduction, it's wrought with all manner of synth flourishes, elegant drum machine rhythms, and warping synths -- a neat closer that offers a new and intriguing approach to an LP highlight.
