Live Review: LISTEN: Cut Copy 'Free Your Mind' (Fort Romeau Remix)
As we count down the days towards CUT COPY's new album, we're pretty happy to hear that there's something new (kind of) to chew on, from the trio.
As we countdown the days towards CUT COPY's new album, we're pretty happy to hear that there's something new for us to chew on from the trio.
It's not a new single, but a remix of their current single - 'Free Your Mind'. The rework comes from by London-based producer Fort Romeau, and is an 8 minute burner - filled to the brim with his patented Chicago house-influence.
Backed by a pulsating beat, Romeau brings forward some tribal rhythms, swirling atmospheric synth lines and a barrage of glitchy samples. It's not house as you know it, that's because the up and coming producer refuses to play by the rules when it comes to genres. Of course he maintains a bit of that throwback sound; employing s a groove laden bassline, a female soul vocal sample and light keywork. Overall, it's a dark and haunting dancefloor filler.
