>baby show up< shows olivers strength in crafting a vivacious floor-rocking beat, with a deeply cavernous kick and sharp stabs forming the groove before simply gripping synth melody gives the track a sparsely wistful atmosphere. as the bass bounces the track along, a precisely executed break leaves no doubt as to the peak-time quality inherent in this production. >baby show up – elegant universe remix< demonstrates the appropriate name of these young remixers, with a track that falls nothing short of a nearmasterpiece. textured melodic soundscapes float gently over an entrancing and slowly lumbering bass-kick combo, purveying a level of passion rarely found in such a graceful piece
