Review

When Little Nobody’s ‘Compulsion’ was unleashed earlier this year, we got some gloriously disparate positive feedback: Some talented souls declaring that the track sounded akin to Underground Resistance (Steve Stoll) to Suburban Knight (Captain Funk, Dave Tarrida), and even the Art Of Noise (Anthony Shakir). Others, like Patrick Pulsinger, Ben Mill and Kirk Degiorgio, called it just plain cool.

“I have to say that this is one of your best tracks so far,” DJ Hi-Shock declared on first exposure. “This is nice, darkish, gritty and phat techno.” So we got curious to see what like-minded producers would do with the very same sound-sources, and encouraged Andrez Bergen (aka Little Nobody) to choose a bunch of his favorite current musicians to do so – including Japan’s DJ Wada (Co-Fusion), M-Koda and Takashi Watanabe (DJ Warp), wonky electronic-funk wizards Donk Boys (Dirtybird), Luke’s Anger (Tigerbass) and Ben Pest (Ninja Tune), and Aussie house/techno virtuosos DJ Hi-Shock and Ben Mill (Bitch Shift).

What transpired has been a stunning, sweeping, genre-crunching reinterpretation, and the reaction to these remixes is already starting to gush. “Just a quick e-mail to let you know that this release is a killer!!!” declared Claude Young straight after he heard DJ Wada’s mix!

  2. What a package! Amazing array of remixes. None capture the phat-ness of the original though.

  8. Another outstanding Little Nobody release.
    To pack so much ‘quality’ into such a diverse array of ‘versions’ is truly an achievement.
    i am enamoured with every mix, Wada’s deep journey into distant tribal space sets the tone nicely for a further slide toward the outer edges of the galaxy with Hi-Shock before landing on M-Koda’s warbly planetary surface for a bit of edgy madness until we set off again on a starlit noctambulation with Takashi Watanabe, before being romanced by the quirky compulsions of Ben Mill.
    Andrez Bergen’s interpretation then brings it home with a sense of immediacy prevailing in the mix which prepares the lister very nicely for the earthly stomp of the Donk Boys mix with it’s short synthetic ‘brass’ stabs leading the charge before Lukes Anger amps up the ‘quirk factor’ with some overt tweakiness as Ben Pest takes over with a compulsive and strange urgency, and then we are finally reminded where it all came from with the ‘Original mix’ by Little Nobody, which may well be the finest of the bunch.

  19. DJ Wada and Little Nobody’s original would be good acquisitions. Considering it’s all variations on the same track, the range of sounds is great to hear.

    comment by Dave Blakemore (Dead Channel) on 21 September 2009

  20. Solid stuff, I especially like the meatier sounding mixes, fine talk from a vegetarian.

    comment by sofaboy on 21 September 2009

  21. Andrez Bergen Remix is my favourite, those chords are absolutely sick, very old school nostalgia I think! Also really like Takashi Watanabe’s Remix.

    Great stuff guys.
