bailey - Gold (Geek Boy Remix)

The UK's Al Swettenham, aka Geek Boy, has done it again. This time remixing the title track from bailey's album, Gold. Absolutely nailing the melodic future bass aesthetic, combined with his trademark bleepy 8-bit touch, Geek Boy has once again crafted an ear-catching, aurally auspicious remix. Last time we heard from him (as least on this blog), he was working his magic alongside MYLK for their cover of Sweet Female Attitude's "Flowers," and it seems his productions have only become more intoxicating. The incredible flourishes and head-snapping speed at which Geek Boy's remix moves is only part of the allure of its awesome beauty. For me the greatest part of Geek Boy's productions is his ability to so seemlessly fly between countless different instruments and sounds, all while maintaining a clear direction, and, in this case, upholding the delicate beauty of bailey's original song. Be sure to grab a copy of the free download, and enjoy its graceful elegance when and wherever you like. SUPPORT GEEK BOY: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers (MYLK & Geek Boy Cover)

MYLK and Geek Boy have resurrected Sweet Female Attitude, covering their 2000 single "Flowers." 

Generously available for free, MYLK and Geek Boy's version whirls and clicks along, generating heat with it's chiptuned, video game synths. It's vocals shine through the constant addition and alteration of elements, as though it were a perpetually evolving machine. There's no missing the stages and processes the production moves through. The program whirs to life, lights blinking and slowly coming on, until the code obscuring the vocals is solved and they are reorganized. The lyrics climb, alongside rising video game sample breaks, setting the stage for bounding, synth strides. The resounding slaps jump around full of power, tossing listeners bodies around like rag-dolls. Comfort returns with ringing bells and chimes before building into a malfunction of movement, bleeping and whirling in disarray. That chaos quickly culminates in an incredibly funky, spinning solo, completing the program's process of gaining humanity. Brightly displaying the beauty of it's new found humanity, it succeeds in bringing life to 'flowers' while planting them ever so gently, with its baited piano outro. Pick it up, free, in full WAV.
