Lots of 2010 updated working their way onto the Phuturelabs headphones at the moment!

After the brilliant remixes of Yello, it’s time for Joey Beltram’s 2001 track “Slice” to get an update. The original was a cracking wee techno number with a bassline reminiscent of “I Feel Love” and the first remix from Carl Cox doesn’t wander too far from the original, simply beefing up the sounds in a “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” stylee. Alan Fitzpatrick steps up next and retains the vocal hook of the original but sprinkles a touch of darkness over proceedings – turning the track into a moody techno rumbler. Joseph Capriati’s remix finishes off the package and while he does a good job – it’s the first two remixes that tickled my fancy.
