- The original version of "Whip" came out as a split EP in October, backed with Jimmy Edgar appearing under his Creepy Autograph moniker. "Whip" is a bottom-heavy cut that marries the rolling percussion and chords that have been a Detroit hallmark for decades to a more bass-led, rhythmically ambitious approach. But for his remix, Edgar heads to the East coast, switching from an off-beat bump to something that sits between New Jersey grooves and Miami bounce. The sliced vocal stab is pure ghetto-funk, while the organ lick is like some forgotten Kerri Chandler cut. These days that's shorthand for "tediously revivalist," but Edgar's too canny a producer to simply rehash sounds. This is dance floor dynamite—raucous yet deep, anthemic without brashness—and proves yet again that Edgar's Midas touch can turn even tired tropes into gold.
