Live Review: Bicep 'Satisfy' (John Talabot's Alt Remix)

Bicep have had their track 'Satisfy' transformed into a tame house tune by John Talabot.

'Satisfy' is one of BICEP's more recent tracks, highlighting the house and garage influenced tunes that are currently sweeping the UK. 'Satisfy' has a very soulful vocal that bursts through the atmospheric synths and compliments the snare that pulses throughout the piece.

Italio and trance synths become apparent as the song builds and during its climax, we have a track that kind of feels like a time warp, taking us back to the height of trance and garage in the late-nineties.

JOHN TALABOT has gone in a different direction though with his remix, keeping things tame rather than semi-explosive. The song builds itself in the introduction as a heavy bass pushes it forward and soon breaks into a rather smooth track, fuelled mostly by the house synths. TALABOT has incorporated a more modern series of synths to his remix and although the vocals are excluded, the soulful elements of 'Satisfy' can still be heard as the piece plays on.

JOHN TALABOT's remix can be purchased through BICEP's Bandcamp page as it is not included in the 12" vinyl.
