I was mesmerized when first hearing “Smooth Skin” from Quest (Twitter, Facebook) and now that I have the record it’s no less magical. I don’t write about a lot of Deep Medi because they get a lot of coverage as is, but this release is special even by Medi standards. As far as I’m concerned the b-side could be Miley Cyrus covering Rusko’s Jahova in acapella and it’d still be worth buying. Quest slows the tempo down to 94 bpm on this one producing something completely fresh, a combination of Kool and the Gang’s “Summertime” era high pitched synths, 808 cowbells, excellent syncopation on a woodblock and some soulful basslines. I literally can’t get enough. Bass music. Out to Quest, this one is a serious contender for song of 2010 in my book. The b-side “Wind Tunnel” is a pretty standard dubstep track done in a Quest style, it’s good but really can’t hold a candle to the a-side in my book. It does however maintain the extremely high standard of percussion that Quest lives up to in all his releases.
Mandatory purchase material.
I was feeling a bit nostalgic last week after Mary Anne Hobbs announced that she’s stepping down from her Radio 1 show which is, and has been for a while, pretty much the apex of underground dance music education. This got me in the mood for some classics so I decided to take a break from the bleeding edge of dance music and look backwards towards 2006/2007. Some of my all time favorite tracks are in this mix, and strong representation from some of the best labels out there: Hyperdub, Tempa, Tectonic, DMZ, and Hotflush. Step into the time machine…
