Semedo - Love Illusion

  • Share
  • Capracara's stomping remix for Body Work's first EP of 2013 will likely get the most attention, but Semedo's high-stepping original is no shrinking violet. On "Love Illusion," the East London producers summon the spirit of Frankie Knuckles' "Your Love." They give more than a nod to the twinkling theme of that early house gem, wrapping it in gurgling bass keys and sprinkling it with chimes. Capracara switches into attack mode, with throbbing techno handclaps, howling acidic drums and hi-hats that hiss like locomotive pistons. The Suburban Dance Club remix, the work of Berlin-based Irishman DJ Wool, is about three notches down the Richter scale. A brooding house cut for its first half, peppered with Battlestar Galactica wooshes, after a windswept midpoint breakdown it adopts a bubbling electro swagger. It might not have the cojones of the Capracara version, but its low-key approach is perfectly targeted for 3 AM shufflers.
