Homage US Vinyl & CDs

Review: London producer JVXTA made quite a splash with the Rudy's Disc 31 12" last year, fitting right in on the emergent Homage label out of New York. Now the label have done the right thing and commissioned a raft of remixes to present some fresh angles on those righteous house heaters. Cinthie comes correct with two loud and proud takes on "Brawn" that keep the powerful vocals front and centre while dropping two very different kinds of peak time house fireworks to propel them. Black Loops gets busy with "Rudy's Disc 31," twisting it up into a wriggling, bugging groove that celebrates the funky roots of the track while keeping it bumping in all the right places. K2k takes things deeper on their version of "State Of Nature," weaving an emotive, dubby tapestry of synths around the original vocal.
