Zoo Brazil - One Day

  • Share
  • Perhaps the label of 2003, Cuba Recordings, gets ready to do its thing yet again, this time with a release from the very in form Zoo Brazil, the man that brought us the stunning ‘Dangerous EP’. This time he brings us One Day, another impressive release which also comes armed with a remix from Laid. On the a-side is firstly the Original Mix, a production that can only be described as delicious tech house. With an irresistible funky edge, this production flows smoothly with a slight and thankfully not overdone acid edge, and a smooth blissful baseline pattern. The sounds of the production are never obvious, however, they work brilliantly in unison to create a stunning result, much like his previous production such as ‘Dangerous’. It’s safe to say that yet again, the duo have turned in the goods. Following this is Pass Me The Tools, which surprisingly enough, is a collection of DJ tools to play with. On the flip is firstly the Laid Remix. It’s another bouncy reinterpretation with the acid lines gaining in intensity, and the beats flowing quite strongly throughout. Laid turns on the effects throughout, but most importantly retains the classic funk of the Original mix. Following this is the Dub Mix which is short, but quite sweet. Keeping in tact some of the finer points of the original such as the melodic undertones as well as the acid lines, the noticeable absence is the presence of a baseline until it hits the second half of the track. But as mentioned, the track is quite short compared to the build and structure of the Original mix. Simply put, this release is yet again very bloody impressive from the Cuba lads. Importantly, this release is very much destined for a dancefloor, as the subtle sounds that you hear work miracles on a bigger soundsystem. Nevertheless, it doesn’t take an incredible amount of volume to see that this release is very tasty.
