T3AL / Bluish Green Remixes / Spiritual World

Released back in June, T3AL’s Bluish Green was a swooning, seductive romantic smash, that blurred and sashayed across the boundaries of R&B, lovers rock and dub. Due to its super limited pressing the E.P. sold out immediately and quickly became a cult hit. The 12 has just been repressed, and now comes accompanied by a second record of remixes.

Keeping things Canadian SKRS INTL concoct a dreamy, sorta slo-mo deep house float, filling Flip That Switch with subtle sound effects and soft, fractured beats. The B-line quite possibly a TB-303. It’s a delicate – as opposed to their usual deranged – deconstruction, and, as with all the other reworks on offer, it focuses on the interplay between the OG’s breathless vocals and flute.

Dublin’s Frankie Downbeat sends R U 4 Real’s cute crooning and ethereal melodies down a Casio keyboard-driven digidub, kinda minimal dancehall route. N1_Sound extends Yellow Moon. Beautifully blissed out, busted up on love, and already a future classic as far as I’m concerned, he creates more space for the live bass, and splashes the drum machine with echo. Om Unit then delivers two slightly different shakes of the wonderful, whispered Weightless. His Afternoon Dub being a dance floor directed dub techno-influenced take. A piece of pulsating, sub-liminal jack that drops the percussion deep into delay and hones in on the track’s horny, hypnotic hook. His Sunrise Dub instead retains the full song, but puts everything through even more tantalising mixing desk twists. The end result is a little more musical, and a lot more chilled.

T3AL’s Bluish Green E.P. and its accompanying remixes are available directly from Spiritual World.
