Transmission Towers - Crooked Man Remixes Pt.1
For this release, Crooked Man first takes 'Everything' and contorts it from a post- punk guitar trip into a cybertronic, new beat heater, aptly titled 'Everything (Gone Crooked)'. A percussive state of hypnosis leads the charge, building the tension for a rumbling kick drum and buzzing synth-line to twist their talons into your mind. Eleanor Mante's vocals take on a new vivacity, feeling like your head has been sucked into a psychedelic swirl away from reality. Afrofuturist, arresting and perfectly equipped to electrify any waning dancefloor into action.
On the B side, 'My Shadow (Crooked Shade)' sees Crooked Man morph the original into a firestarter of galactic proportions . The crunched- up breakbeat drives the journey and flips what was once a hallucinatory machine soul number, into an intoxicating slice of club- focussed heat from another dimension . Spiralling pads and astral synths coil around Eleanor's reverberating vocals, as your body is willed to move in a trancelike state of cosmic motion.
