Kolombo
WAITING FOR
(MICHAEL MAYER REMIX)
12 Inch
Kompakt has always been partial to Belgium as they have been tremendously loving to us ... leading the charge of support have been our friends Mugwump – the dynamite duo that comprises of Geoffoy and the star of our show today – Kolombo. We have had a great strain of releases with them over recent times and many will remember Kolombo from a number of big tunes for Turbo, Vice Versa and Boxer Recordings. Kolombo pays tribute to the spirit of slo-mo Belgian New Beat with >Waiting For<. A 105 BPM driven concoction of classic house, Balearic disco lead by the voice of 80s pop maestro Howard Jones of his memorable hit >Everlasting Love< means yes, we have a winner!
"Rescue Me" leads away from the sensationalist pop of "Waiting For" but shines in a disco-fied soaking of raucousness. Michael Mayer steps up and proves he still is on a winning streak of remixes, following changing up music for the likes of Shit Robot and WhoMadeWho and now with a take on Kolombo's "Waiting For". He embraces the grandeousness of the original, setting off with a stripped down classic Chicago house rhythm, slowly building it with BASS until you can't see past the lights of the club ceiling then traveling to a paradigm of dance music that is absolutely sincere yet completely untouchable.[kopop17_info from ko]
