Craig Bratley – Mannequin (Ewan Pearson Remix)

Australian-based label Tsuba, one of the key players in the underground house scene, revisits Craig Bratley’s debut album for their next release by offering up two remixes from the legendary Ewan Pearson and one each from Midnight Special and Velvet Season & The Hearts Of Gold.  Bratley’s ‘Buy The Ticket Take The Ride‘ EP gained critical approval from blogs & magazines the world over, and this up-coming remix package is following in the same footsteps.

The 4-track remix package is a real jaw-dropper, but the track that has absolutely blown us away here is Ewan Pearson‘s take on ‘Mannequin‘.  Those of you lucky enough may have a copy of this already when it was released as a Record Store Day special, on a limited blue 10” (aye, we’re suckers for coloured vinyl too)

This is Ewan Pearson’s first output on Tsuba, having previously produced bands like Fuck Buttons, released seminal mix CDs for Fabric and becoming somewhat of a mainstay for the underground scene with his releases via Kompakt.  Ewan’s take on ‘Mannequin’ is a chugging 100BPM sleazy, dark and mischevous piece of midnight disco energy.  Or, in other words, some pure, unadulterated dance floor smut.

Buy The Ticket Take The Ride Remixes‘ EP is bound to be one of your best investments this year, so make sure you get a copy from Tsuba when it drops on the 1st of June.
