It took me a bit to work out what this Various Production "20" 12" was but I got it in the end so now I'm going to reward myself with something edible... Oh the record... It's two remixes. The first is by Actress and it's a deep house track with super hissy loud hi-hats and female vocal snippet sample. It sounds a bit fucked up but still flows. It's quite harsh and raw sounding especially on the top end. There's a sweet jazzy melody in there and the bassline is nice and round and sexy. One to drop to get the girlies on the floor before you warp their minds by dropping 'Nellie The Elephant' backwards at 290BPM while cutting into the Smiths refrain 'Hang The DJ'. Then all the girls start projectile vomiting on you and so you moon at them while downing a pint of Wild Turkey in one then throw the decks in the bin and then go home and mutilate yourself with a broken rusty coat hanger... (typicalSaturday night out for our Ant, that) Rustie does a remix of 'In This' on the other side. He keeps the grimey vocal and adds lots of his own sounds into the mix. I quite like this bloops and squiggle stuttering action everywhere. If you like his style then you'll be rinsing this plate. Brett digs the drum rush.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Very limited pressing EP featuring two original tracks from Various Production remixed by producers du jour Rustie and Actress. Both first appeared on last summer’s ‘Various Versus’ CD collection, but make the jump to vinyl here for the first time, freshly cut for the dance, the DJ and the devotee alike. On the re-rub of ‘In This’, Glasgow’s finest Rustie – a man with his own (possibly ironically) self-coined genre “Aquacrunk” and a newly-signed contract with Warp - takes the frantic emceeing of Various’ resident versifyier V.E.X. and sends it in fine style through a punchy freeform melody with massive drum kicks. Flip over and Actress – Werk Discs founder Darren Cunningham whose late-2008 album ‘Hazyville’ is piling up admiring reviews like drifting snow - turns ‘Lost’ into a wide and smooth and awesome piece of de-focussed heads down deep techno that wouldn’t be out of place on Chain Reaction, were it not so tight and well paced, combining deep melody and vocals with rough high-end sounds.
