Situation – Say Goodbye (Situationism)

The Original version is driven by the emotional yet breath-taking vocals of Lauren Rimell, nestling on top of an easy disco beat, backed up by layers, awash with warm synth chords. A heavy rolling bass fills the bottom end & cements the elements together in a bucket of electronic funk.

The Radio edit comes snapping at you with a broken beat, a fat Hammond, Rhodes and a growling bass that keeps Lauren feeding her emotive vocals in & out of some great arranging, leaving you wanting more. The Max Essa remix delivers a well crafted, bumping four to the floor house version right here! An infectious bass line with contagious beats, which as always are skipping & crisp. Lauren gets all cut up & looped Max Essa style, weaving a great 80’s lead sound in between, making this a corking vocal house dub of the original.

The DT dub (aka Dom Thompson) following a string of remixes on Nang & United Recordings, DT has put another classic dub remix together here for Situation. Warm stabby synth chords, pads & effects collate together in a warm rich sound with a broken beat that keeps that groove moving in the right direction. Lauren is in tight loops to start with until DT bumps it up a gear & lets the full lushness of the vocals break through …another beauty from camp DT!

The Sunrise mix has that Balearic vibe through out, you can feel the sun rising as the warm analogue chords & atmospherics wash over you in waves as Lauren weaves her wondrous tones through the tight drums and a classic house bass line …one for the dawning’s of the mornings.

Last up is the bonus track ‘Devils Music’ which is pure driving deep house at it’s most dangerous! The keys come at you, stabbing & soaring over the thumping beats, with some deep ass southern drawl keeping you waiting for that inevitable low slung bass line that just drops it’s presence on you from nowhere … Oh and of course that classic house string just to ice your deep house cake!
