"Back Up Queen" (808 Fake remix) |
For a relative newcomer, Nathan Barato has slotted right into the Rekids vibe with his first appearance on the label. "Back Up Queen" is defined by a brilliantly sarcastic vocal performance that sends up the diva culture that may or may not have its sights set on the dance music world. A rude bassline and solid tech-house bump do just the right amount of work in the background while a simple looped melody provides a contrast to the RuPaul-esque ramblings. Oliver$ does a serviceable job with his safe and steady remix, leaving it to 808 Fake to do away with the vocal and create a deeper mood driven by an insistent hat.
