Yuksek's new EP, "On A Train", contains material that symbolises the Frenchman's change from analogue electro to a more indie sound. Consisting of 3 original tracks, two remixes of the title track "On A Train" by
The Magician and
Gucci Vump as well as an acoustic cover of it by
ALB, the EP is a well produced addition to Yuksek's diverse back catalogue.
MP3s:
1. On A Train (The Magician Remix) - Disco Disco favourite
The Magician takes "On A Train" and adds his trademark repetitive piano rhythms to it, making it sound much more like a house track rather than Yuksek's unique indie-electro style.
2. On A Train - The title track sound more like the Yuksek of old, an analogue sounding bassline wrapped around conventional drums with a catchy hook line.
3. On A Train (Gucci Vump Remix) - The electro supergroup of
The Shoes and
Brodinski, or
Gucci Vump as they are collectively known, put much more of an emphasis on their take on a DJ-friendly of the original, with a big build up leading into a more dancehall soundsing rhythm.
4. On A Train (ALB Cover) (youtube link, the mp3 wouldn't download..) -
ALB is an electronic pop producer from Rhiems, France, and he provides the EP with a slow sounding acoustic version of "On A Train". Slow and soothing.
5. Dead Or Alive - A chilled out number that sounds much more like an indie pop record than a French electro one! Probably my favourite on the EP.
6. Mister Dangerous - Yuksek changes back into his alter-ego as an electro producer, using fierce, fuzzy bass and filter house synths.
