Based around a melancholic vocal sample from 70s disco crooners Captain & Tenille, and a classic Balearic style retro guitar riff, Bent?s first single from their new album Everlasting Blink is a chilled out, easy-to-listen to song ideally suited for lazing around on sunny afternoons.
Downtempo, warm and impressively fuzzy, the smoke friendly radio edit is both accessible and radio friendly, though it?s on Ashley Beedle and West London Deep?s dance floor mixes where the tune truly flowers.
X Press 2 man Ashley Beedle?s approach is to maintain the basic integrity of the song, simply adding a house tempo groove to up the overall energy levels. It?s West London Deep, however, who really take things further, laying down a funky electro disco groove that?s catchy, achingly modern and instantly irresistible. Allmost nine minutes in length, WLD?s mix boosts the original?s energy output exponentially, even electrifying its breakdown with squelchy electro synths and robot style handclaps to complete a classic sci-fi disco effect.
Superstyle Deluxe?s disco mix completes a package of top quality mixes of a song that?s likely to pop up everywhere over the next few months and throughout the upcoming (Northern) summer. The single is released on March 17.
