Mr. Statik – Roll Down The Shutters

Mr. Statik is back on Mo’s Ferry with his new EP Roll Down The Shutters. And he got massive support from Sasha Perera (Jahcoozi). She performed the laid-back vocals on this release. Remixes by Dapayk and Daze Maxim complete the package – but enough with the name dropping. The original track shows influences in dub, but with an elegant touch. Stathis often uses minimalistic 80s drum sound patterns and smooth bass lines.

The specific topic of this tune lies in the depth of tape echoed chord sounds and the pretty cool vocals of Sasha Perera, as already mentioned. Btw, she also played the horn parts. Dapayk moves his remix more in the tech house genre. He obviously changed tempo and bass line to get enough drive for a peaktime floor filler.

But he also leaves room for the original vocals and the horn section. Daze Maxim’s remix is more in the minimal direction. Despite the loose tempo of the original he brought a new definition and focus to the beat. He takes only a few snippets from the vocals but plays extensively with the modulation of the chord sounds. Mr. Statik himself marks the finish of the EP. His dub mix slowly rolls down the shutters.
