With his debut album set to be one of the early highlights of 2012, Gang Colours pops up with a remix package derived from his “In Your Gut Like A Knife” EP, released back in June 2011 via Brownswood Recordings. Available digitally and completely free of charge, the “In Your Gut Like A Knife” remixes come from extended Brownswood family and fellow up-and-comers Pedestrian, Alex Patchwork, Frederic Robinson and DJ Dials.
With early outings via Goldie’s legendary Metalheadz imprint (remixing fellow Cambridge residents Commix) and Brownswood (check Bubblers Six) – plus an imminent EP on Push & Run – Pedestrian has quickly cemented himself as a talent to watch in 2012 and beyond. Coaxing “Dance Around The Subject” from the fringes to the middle of the dancefloor, he serves up Gang Colours’ cascading synth silvers on a thumping warehouse groove. Next up is our own Alex Patchwork (Patchwork Pirates / Earnest Endeavours) who accelerates the lilting melodies of “Fireworks In Pocket” with a nod to Chicago’s footwork movement, flipping overweight 808s and chattering percussion. Frederic Robinson is a young German producer who instills amazing charm and character in his D&B productions, pushing the sound into new territories. His contribution to Brownswood Electr*c 2 – “Mood Swings” – was a highlight for many. Here he blesses “In Your Gut Like A Knife” with his signature warmth and sensitivity. Reppin’ the Bay Area, DJ Dials is another Brownswood Electr*c alumnus, his arpeggiated ode to heartbreak “Pillowforts” struck a chord with Gang Colours and he was therefore a natural choice to rework “Fireworks…” fashioning a charming, drowsy, half-time emo stepper.
