HGLDT & Hissy Fit – Last Summer Dub
Release Date: 11/01/11
1. HGLDT & Hissy Fit – Last Summer Dub (Original Mix)
2. HGLDT & Hissy Fit – Last Summer Dub (Martin Kemp Remix)
The sixth release on Party Guy Records is a collaboration between two Montreal residents HGLDT & HISSY FIT titled “Last Summer Dub”. The chopped-and-screwed vocal loops and deep bass grooves remind us at Party Guy Records of club nights we spent in Montreal, at places like Aria and Stereo, where we would dance all night to all-encompassing beats, that held our attention until the sun had well-risen. As this “Indian Summer” continues, let us reflect on what a summer it has been, with one more bangin, summer groove…
The title track, Last Summer Dub, is sure to be a modern classic. With cross-over appeal to house DJs, as well as the speed garage connoisseurs, this 4×4 journey captures the essence of long summer nights and starry skys. A dreamy soundscape is created as the funky bass weaves in and out of the kicks and snares, making the listener wish it wouldn’t end (just like summer).
On the flip, Martin Kemp is back with the full UK sound giving the track with an absolute mental remix of the original. A dark, twisting shuffle with a serious bass line punches through eerily throughout the track. Keeping many elements of the original but completely switching the vibe, Kemp proves again why he is someone to keep on your radar.
