Blowin up Ep review


Sawgood sent me his complete "Blowin UP" Ep, if I promised that I'd do a review.
Fair deal if you ask me! This Ep should normally have been out on beatport yesterday, but due to some technical problems it wasn't untill somewhere this afternoon. Allright, let's get busy!

Tracklist:
Sawgood feat Gigi Barocco, Loc e & Agag - Blowin up (original mix)
Sawgood feat Gigi Barocco, Loc e & Agag - Blowin up (Shekel remix)
Sawgood feat Gigi Barocco, Loc e & Agag - Blowin up (Calvertron remix)
Sawgood feat Gigi Barocco, Loc e & Agag - Blowin up (The Boomzer remix)
Sawgood feat Gigi Barocco, Loc e & Agag - Blowin up (Ikki remix)

The original mix is in my opinion the best track on the Ep, decent electro stuff mixed with raps from Loc E and A girl and A gun. Gigi's trademark, silly fidget (which is great, silly doesn't mean stupid here), blends perfectly with Sawgood's harder, bloody attitude.

Ikki, the Spainard who got famous with his heavy metal remixes, signs up for the best remix on the EP. He makes the original harder, and more fidget-like.

Shekel, an Isralian dubstep producer, gives the dubstep lovers exactly what they are looking for. Nasty wobbles and trashed vocals!

I was pretty disappointed to hear the Calvertron remix, he has done much better things than this.
The Boomzers remix gives the original a trashy make-over, love it or hate it! Unfortunately I couldn't find a preview somewhere, so you will just have to believe me on my word. I was digging this remix, but I can imagine a lot of people not liking it because it's too trashy and simple. There's no accounting for tastes, right?

Buy the whole thing on beatport!

How to blow up a helicopter

Sawgood & Gigi Barocco will be releasing their new ep "Blowin up" (out today)! To promote this event, Sawgood is giving away his "what that fake". This track is a funny commentary on the media buzz around the skins parties, he uses vocals from a female French newscaster, and mixes those with high pitching synths and trashy electro. Now you know what a skins party is!

This is a teaser for the Ep, with a preview of all the remixes. Calvertron, Ikki, The Boomzers and Shekel! This is gonna be huge, all of the remixes got me banging my head!

Deafman, the guys from the amazing tune "Diskett", actually have a lot more good stuff than this one track. The video below is a recording of their take on Vitalic's "Poney Part 1", remixed live for the camera. I found another remix from them which was amazing, their remix for Aerotronic's helicopter! I wasn't quite digging the original to be honest, but if you listen to this, you just can't stay calm. The rave feeling of the original stays intact, and in my opinion, it gets even more ravey!
