En cette fin d’année 2021, un peu plus de deux ans après la sortie sur Omakase Recordings de « Blue Dawns », debut EP de la productrice et chanteuse MBKONG (aka Goldie B), le label marseillais dévoile une série de remixes des quatre titres qui ont su constituer cet opus nu-soul minimaliste. Pour cet exercice de ré-interprétation musicale, celui-ci a fait appel à un panel de producteurs et productrice venant de tous les bords de la musique électronique, en accord avec l’esthétique éclectique affirmée du label. Entre leftfield bass, idm, dubstep, glitch, experimental, footwork, ukg, house, electronica ou encore alternative r&b, les 7 tracks de cet EP de remix redonnent un souffle absolument inattendu à chacun des morceaux d’origine et les propulsent, pour certains même, dans une dimension club dans laquelle on ne les attendaient pas.

Two years after releasing « Blue Dawns », the debut EP of the producer & singer MBKONG (aka Goldie B), Omakase recordings is unveiling today an unexpected remixes series of this minimalist nu-soul 4 track opus. For this musical reinterpretation exercise, the young label from Marseille has called several producers coming from different backgrounds of the electronic music spectrum, in consonance with the eclectic aesthetic of its catalog. Between leftfield bass, IDM, dubstep, glitch, experimental, footwork, ukg, house, electronica and even alternative r&b, the seven tracks of this remixed EP breath a remarkable new life to all the original tunes, and also a surprising club dimension to some of them.
