- NYC's Kai Ying, one half of Chris & Kai, gets an opportunity to remix a Medway monster called 'Resurrection'. Kai along with Chris have been grabbing major attention for their productions while playing to clubbers worldwide both together and in a solo fashion. Kai has appeared on John Digweed's kiss100 show and was part of the Yoshitoshi Asia 2004 winter tour.
As the name suggests, Kai twists fresh electro melodies over rolling percussion and crisp beats which set the tone for the duration. The layering of many melodies at the start help introduce depth while lengthened distorted basslines and the switching between 4x4 beats and breaks add even more dimensions. Loads of techy goodness here as trickles, echos and squelches round every corner but its the constant melody that keeps this track in peak time space. A big breakdown features the droning basslines with patches of vocal, atmospherics and the nice inclusion of a different bassline.
Kai has done a great job infusing the electro, tech and funk elements of this mix and gives the original its due respect. Excellent stuff!
