Having been a mysterious secret weapon deployed to decimate dance floors for many months, Henrik Schwarz‘s remix of mass destruction is finally getting a release later this month. Taking on Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas’ 1978 Ghanaian afrobeat rarity, Schwarz adds a characteristic bleepy twist, transforming the track into a euphoric but gnarled piece of progressive house.
Swinging on the syncopated hi-hats, the synth line builds in intensity before the glorious brass is teased in. A warm bass tone compliments the fuzzy synths, which are adorned with further electronic twitches and beeps, elements which blend Schwarz’s modern German background with the joyous Ghanaian chants.
As the vocals and brass fade, the track strips back to reveal a sinister underlayer of shimmering acidic tones, making it a perfect transition track to darker territory.
Henrik Schwarz’ remix of Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas classic is out now on digital via Strut Records, and will be out on 12″ September 4th.
