Boy 8-Bit - Still Killing EP

Over the last few years, Boy 8-Bit has become widely known as a producers producer. Blending ingenuity with pure talent and super attention to detail, he has found a unique way of bringing house music fans something they haven’t heard anywhere else. Following his well received ‘Suspense Is Killing Me’ EP, remixes slowly trickled in and a year or so later here’s the pick of the best on 12-inch. Kicking things off is Philipe de Boyar’s gated, monster-synth dancefloor remix of the title track, which has been Boy 8-Bit’s version of choice in the club for a long time. The ever-evolving producer Memory Tapes, who’s made a name for himself mostly in indie rock circles, gives up a totally unique remix of ‘Cricket Scores’, flipping dreamy synths into death metal inspired double kickdrum madness. Helskinki’s Obi Blanche has made an inspired move in featuring a beautiful live saxophone melody on his mix of ‘Bulbs Burn Out’, dropping it into a moving, breathing kick house banger with just the right amount of horn. Boy 8-Bit takes over the b-side with his own remix of ‘Cricket Scores’ with a brilliant synthline that’s like a half disco half techno flavour. And last, ‘Ghost House’, the brother of ‘Suspense Is Killing Me’ - simply an awesome track that touches on influences from classic rave to breakbeat. Limited vinyl press of 500 in full colour jacket, including free download card for 320 mp3s of all tracks.
