Shapes EP:Z
This EP was the first in a series of DJ-friendly vinyl releases designed to give wax-fanatics the chance to get their hands on one-offs and remixes by newcomers and Tru Thoughts veterans alike.
Here’s a track-by-track breakdown of the treats in store on ‘Shapes EP:Z’
Polar Pair v Maddslinky featuring MC Karolina – ‘Over My Head’
This collaboration between Israel’s Polar Pair and Manchester’s Maddslinky (aka Phuturistix) is a funky broken beat style tune with vocals by Karolina.
Polar Pair featuring Talisman – ‘Out Of Sight’
A more hip hop/funky electronic track with female vocalist Talisman on the mic. Check the bass on a loud soundsystem!
Quantic – ‘Mishaps Happening’ (Prins Thomas Edit)
We first heard this when Gilles Peterson played it on his BBC Radio 1 show. At the time it was being credited to Todd Terje, but we managed to trace Prins through fellow Norwegian Espen Horne of Kinny & Horne.
Nirobi & Barakas – ‘Bungee Jump Against Racism’ (Diesler Mix)
Robert Luis & Bonobo get the remix treatment from fellow Tru Thoughts artist Diesler.
The Quantic Soul Orchestra – ‘Walking Through Tomorrow’ (TM Juke Mix)
Originally featured on the Shapes Yellow CD-only compilation, Tru Thoughts were inundated with requests to release it it on vinyl.
