Dzim - Black Factory
Dzim brings a space wasteland of progressive and drowned house over a lazy beat that chimes dusted chords set astride an almost-blackness. The pads get more melodic, more preclusive of escape as they come to life in the more polished Black Factory. It's therein that Dzim pulls long granulated drone across the void while a minimal beat diffuses collapse. The original tells us that parts of Black Factory will work in headphones, and that parts will work on a fog-filled dance floor.
With two remixes that all do this, it sometimes threatens to make them superfluous, and the idea is approached in a particularly obvious manner with the Black Factory remix. Nevertheless, he swings it enough to provide versions for, perhaps, later zones of the night (the original would be a nice warmer), and the groundwork's laid sweetly enough for this
kind of treatment anyway.
On the Fabio T. remix bent on rabble-rousing, tossing in twisted bits of synth and playing the FX box fast and loose. The tune circuits with attention-deficit speed through bursts of drainpipe delay, cavern echo and filter twists, which gives things a nice live-work out feel. Certainly useful if the crowd looks like it could use some waking up.
Fyono's remix it sounds far off from the nerve-wracked hesitance of his recent productions, where drums hit so lightly and frequently it was like they were trying to keep from touching the ground. Here, his drum programming tic is straightened out into something almost straightforward, still oddly swung but predictable: it fits well within the original's ethos of banging and backward-looking house.
