Ramadanman - Humber

Humber by Ramadanman

4...according to our on Fri 17 Apr, 2009.

RRRRRRRRamadanman! RRRRaMMADanMaN! Your name is so fun to say. 'Humber' is the latest effort for the Apple Pips label which has yet to release anything resembling a dud, with superb sides from the likes of Martyn, Jus Wan and T++ to their credit already. It doesn't disappoint with its glidey synth phasing that ricochets around the space above your bonce like a light show while skittering beats parade around down on the floor. Sven Weisemann's remix takes the original and shapes it into a slow builder that intially borders on ghostlike ambience before eventually kicking in with a two-step dub techno finish. Classy 'plate' RRAmaDANMan.

Apple Pips proudly presents a release of genre crossing business from 2 very promising producers – Ramadanman and Sven Weisemann. Ramadanman’s profile is rising rapidly, with his Hessle Audio imprint releasing classics such as his own ‘Blimey’, getting big support from Ricardo Villalobos & other house and techno jocks, 12”s for Soul Jazz showcasing a unique take on dubstep, garage, 2step and techno. Appleblim has been rinsing ‘Humber’ out for quite some time, its choppy beats and gorgeous phasing synths an instant highlight of his sets…unbeknown to him Ramadanman had been in touch with Berlin based producer Sven Weisemann about a remix, as Sven’s gorgeous work on top labels Mojuba and Leibe Detail had caught his ear…well – here it is! And what a gem it is too… Humber – Rolling beats compliment the beautifully melodic filtered synths, this has a real 2step / Techno / godknowswhat feel to it! Bumpin’ subs carry it through with some wicked progression going on in the melodies…. Humber (Sven’s Rumber Remix) – It’s a real honour to have Sven Weisemann on Apple Pips, him having created one of our fave house tracks of recent times, ‘Let’s Swing’ on Mojuba…he reshapes Humber beautifully here, resetting it as a dubby yet melodic house track, with depth and soul…Radio & club support coming from Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Laurent Garnier, Gilles Peterson (Radio 1), Martyn (3024), Rob Da Bank (played it last Sunday on Radio 1) Flying Lotus, Mr Scruff, DJ Flight, Jamie Vex'd, Quarion and more..
