Vincenzo & Talking Props - Seduction

  • Share
  • I was surprised at the lack of hype surrounding Vincenzo's third album last May, as it was an impressive piece of work. Here Dessous comes back for a second bite, inviting two remixers along. The original track has also been included, though it's almost a minute longer than the version found on the album. Other than the length, the two are the same; smooth, glossy chords and sultry female vocals. The clap is also heavily loaded, giving things a pleasing step rhythm. A proven bet with deep house, the UK's Jimpster is first up: Instead of the original's lurking bassline, he inserts a bouncy patch which ups the dance floor appeal slightly. Additionally, the source vocal has been sliced up into tantalising morsels which hint at emotion, rather than revel in it. The second remix comes from Tuff City Kids, a fledgling project created by some fairly unfledgling guys, AKA Robert Johnson faves Gerd Janson and Phillip Lauer. This version strays even further from the original than Jimpster's, almost to the point of being unrecognisable. That's not a criticism though; it's a jubilant and invigorating cut. Again utilising chopped vocals, the pair add heavy reverb and clanking drum hits to match. Where the original's hook had a metronomic quality, here it's worked into a whirling chord succession which snowballs the whole track to a euphoric peak.
