Bristol and Brighton cross paths on my latest find from Soundcloud's The Upload feature. It sees the former's
Freddy Pimms taking on the latter's seminal classic "
Chime" by groundbreaking duo
Orbital. Originally released in 1989, the Hartnoll brothers' acid house offering has received countless remixes, edits and covers from the likes of
The Shapeshifters,
Joey Beltram and others. Here Pimms relights its rave resplendence with a Baltimore breakbeat remix. While certainly taking place in the same soundscape, this new direction gives "
Chime" a largely novel feel. The new bounce from both the bmore bassline and propulsive percussion keep the track feeling fresh and fun, while the familiar core of "
Chime" grounds the experience in nostalgia. Personally, I find this mix particularly nostalgic as I have a fondness for both bmore and breaks - two of my earliest loves in electronic music. They work quite well with "
Chime" and Pimms has certainly taken advantage of that fact. Get it free now
