Honeycomb Remixes by Mr Beatnick
Following the summer release of his well-received second album Honeycomb, Mr Beatnick handed out the project stems to a discerning group of old friends. The remixes that came back mirror the original album's broad palette of genres, providing a similarly diverse, lush listening experience to the original LP.
South London jazzhead Hector Plimmer takes title track Honeycomb on a deep dub excursion, backed with his signature live drumming, whilst Hyperdub stalwart Ikonika and Houndstooth's Throwing Snow push Broken Fury and Orion into deeper dancefloor territory. The project also includes reflective hip-hop takes from breakbeat supremos Kelpe and Om Unit, along with Mythstery's MPC manipulator Breakplus, who turns in a lush live instrument replay of Luxette, augmented with the reeds of Ben Hadwen. Finally, Honeycomb studio engineer and boogie-funk virtuoso The Whole Truth rebuilds Noah's Mood into an authentic early 80s synth jam, showing exactly why his recent 12" on Mark Seven's Parkway Records flew off shelves.
All in all, a buzzin' set of vibes beamed in straight from the hivemind.
