Stevie R & Matt Hardinge ft. Shawni “Measuring the Universe” (Kosmas Remix)
The latest helping from the always-piquant Inside Out Records camp comes at the hands of its chief-in-command, Stevie R. The label head is not alone on the affair, as he brings along familiar face Matt Hardinge to help forge a trip-hop-imbued, contemplative cut of extraordinary measure. The soul-soothing original sees them calling upon the lurid lungs of singer Shawni to add bluish hues to the melancholic mood they’ve so carefully crafted here.
Kosmas exhibits the same sang-froid he always exhibits in the studio, taking on remix duties alongside Namito, Si Tew and MEK. Making sure not to transport the piece too far from the deep trenches whence it came, he lifts the intensity up just enough to make this one fit right in on club floors. It’s a graceful groove, to say the least, with aqueous atmospherics and gentle, lapping keys seeping through its tight perc programming.
Available August 10 via Inside Out Records.
