Little Nobody – Compulsion (Luke’s Anger Remix)

Reared in Melbourne, Australia, in the early ’90s on a steady Detroit diet of Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and Suburban Knight at a string of underground raves, Little Nobody – based in Japan since 2001 – never quite forgot those essential roots.

So it really should come as no surprise that his brand new single ‘Compulsion’ is a shade nostalgic 15 years on and perhaps unwittingly channels all these essential people – then segues the flashback Detroit techno moment into a mesmerizing contemporary riff that clicks superbly.

In a fit of equally canny thinking, Little Nobody enlisted current tech-funk wunderkind, Luke’s Anger – of Tigerbass Records fame, the label run by Kid606 – to do the brilliantly cut-up, eclectic, funked-up glitch-mix here that’s so 2009 rather than 1994.

“I had a bash at it, and it all flowed really nicely,” Luke quipped, straight after finishing his version.
