Real Gone Kid – Molnlycke/ He Licked My Face [Evoked Recordings]

by Priya Sen August 31, 2015

Equipped with a sharp musical mind, feisty and fumingly talented UK DJ/producer Simon Huxtable better known as Real Gone Kid gets down and gritty with his cheeky EP titled – Molnlycke / He Licked My Face out on Evoked Recordings.
Diving headlong in to the original mix of – “Molnlycke”, RGK instigates a dense rhythmic complexity to the track. The intention is sustainable Progressive and Tribal House flavor, with a new twist. Indeed, the seemingly impenetrable but DJ friendly bass heavy sound, has its viscous low end emitting menacing signals as it morphs around your brains, idly posturing and ebbing out wonderfully from time to time. This is full frontal new world music disorder, wonderfully orchestrated for dancing with wild abandon. The squealing squelch quality provides much soundscapes to get lost in.
Flipping over to Side B quickly turns in to something fabulous. “He Licked My Face” has a straight quirky story to go along with it, but I’m hardly able to get in to that one, and contain my excitement as the tune has that everlasting beauty around the entire building. If you are feeling pangs of discontentment with dance music, fear not, the thrill of exploration and discovery is entirely mine as his treatment of this original is as sublime as they come. There’s no waning, or wanting. The captivating bass line, and inside melodics, sinewy atmospherics puts one in dance rapture. The cleaving riff and descending beats, lead you in to an unexpectedly vacant break down, the kinds one would find in sci-fi movies, and from there on it all goes beauteously helter skelter. The android swagger leaves you open mouthed, and for better..
Lovely goings on!!
