Rhythm Cult is back again as last summer hit ‘PPPPP’ from youANDme gets a

second special package of reworkings from a band of meticulously selected remixers

from around the globe. This time we welcome the likes of Shed (50 Weapons, Ostgut

Ton) and Johannes Albert (Live At Robert Johnson, Renate Schallplatten) to the Cult

to provide exciting new iterations breathing their unique spirit into an already

memorable track.


First up to the platter is raw techno purveyor Shed in his Head High guise, who

serves up a faithful but turbo-charged rework. The original’s ludicrously addictive

vocal refrain returns, orbiting endlessly across the soundscape while the drums get

serious steroid enhancement creating a weighty groove that hits hard. One of

Rhythm Cults' favourite house producers Ian Pooley comes next, returning to deliver

a sublime raw house re-take as only he knows how. Filtering and manipulating the

vocal cuts and old-school stabs, he creates a bumping excursion into the cavernous

depths, complete with lush echoing dub chords and jackin’ percussion. One for the

house heads and as always, dancefloor dynamite. The Drunken Diva ‘Scream Mix’

shifts down through the gears to create an almost lilting, off-kilter dub-influenced

iteration. Perfect for those hot late-night summer dancefloor moments, this cut takes

it deep and dark. Finally, Berliner Johannes Albert swoops in to direct the track into a

crunchy minimal 808 territory. His rework is complemented by some slick vocal

chopping and frequency-shifted segments elevating the track to a new plateau.


Another fine series of remixes ensures ‘PPPPP’ will be lighting up dancefloors this

summer season and beyond. Rhythm Cult continues its mission to showcase some

of the most talented and forward-thinking producers out there.
