Futurewife - Redentor (Pretty Young Thing)

Pretty Young Thing returns with “Redentor,” a tech-house single from Futurewife with remixes by Fictional and Rob Hanlon. The first iteration of the relaunch of Futurewife’s West Coast dance imprint features a romp-fueled stomping bassline marrying old school house beats with snappy hand claps and sparse acid house treatments.

Futurewife left an indelible imprint on house music in the Pacific Northwest with his Seattle warehouse parties before relocating to Los Angeles, where he continues to reign as a member of acid and techno group Cid & Fancy. “Redentor” belies his experience as a deft DJ and producer, as the track is a dancefloor-filling rodeo ride. The remix by Fictional forays into gritty and driving techno suited for afterhours warehouse parties, while Rob Hanlon’s re-work brings off-kilter beats to the original juice.

Pedro Faria feat. Kavina Ladean - Same Ground (Viva Recordings)

Viva Recordings is proud to present “Same Ground,” the latest offering from Portuguese artist Pedro Faria (Elektronic Vibes, Souled Records), featuring Kavina Ladean on vocals. The original is a stompy foray into house territory, with a strong, dreamy synth line that underscores Ladean’s vocal work beautifully. Pezzner (Freerange, Smoke N’ Mirrors) follows up with a captivating remix, transforming the original into a cerebral, dark and jazzy deep house cut, taking the listener on a subtle journey through sound. The remix by Futurewife (PYT Records, Brilliantine) picks up the tempo and provides us with a more tech-house interpretation of the track, while still maintaining its deep and soulful essence. Viva label head Neiro (Uniting Souls, Chillin) contributes a nice rework as well, chopping up Ladean’s vocals to maximum effect and sculpting a strong bass line to keep this track moving ahead perfectly. Provoke Rain (Labella Recordings) rounds out the release with a final remix, by the far the most ‘techno’ of all the remixes. Dark and stripped down synth work, coupled with bizarre and otherworldly vocal lines create a track ready for the weirdest hours of the night.
