+ Sunshine Jones: "If You Wouldn't Mind" (Tiger Stripes Remixes)
:: Nite Grooves
Nite Grooves' own Tiger Stripes provide two remixes of sister label King Street's Sunshine Jones "If You Wouldn't Mind". The first stretches a minimal beat softened by a simple keyboard pattern into a real groover - the vocal is actually more like another percussion instrument or rhythm machine rather than belting out a melody. The Acid Dub mix channels some early 1990s-era Adonis. I'm glad to see a label doing more than just signing some name remixer to ship a few more units and letting the Tiger Stripes experiment a bit. The blood of the big, high-ceiling ballroom definitely courses through the veins of this one, complete with the 303 sequencing OD that made kids lose their minds on the dancefloor once upon a time. The two mixes couldn't be more different, with one playing to the current infatuation with a softer tech-house sound and the second heralding a future renaissance of a long neglected genre.
