But when Vonstroke comes knocking you let him in!
Driven by CVS’ own enthusiasm for Girl Unit’s 2010 anthem, the Dirty Bird label boss submitted to us three different versions of his remix, each progressively more stripped down. All three transform ‘Wut’ from gleaming crunk anthem to bass-driven house metatool, expanding on its raw big-room essence.

Here we release two of the three versions. On side A Vonstroke’s “Undressed” mix borrows Girl Unit’s synth arrangements and vocal tics, keeping all the ecstasy and emotion of the original for its epic swells, which build up to huge cavernous drops of pitched Miami bass hits and clattering 808s.  Quintessentially CVS, this is the sound of Night Slugs x Dirty Bird.

On side AA is the “Butt Naked Mix” (title picked by Vonstroke in true DB style). This version relates to the original only in the most spectral sense, stripping away almost all of Girl Unit’s stems and melodic elements. The result is a beautifully restrained rhythm track, a machine-like big-room dub that builds and drops so elegantly yet so devastatingly. The work of a true master!

NS008 – Girl Unit – Wut http://nightslugs.net/releases/girl-unit-wut/ http://nightslugs.net/releases/girl-unit-wut/#comments Tue, 23 Nov 2010 04:01:29 +0000 Bok Bok http://nightslugs.net/?post_type=releases&p=126 “Wut” is an anthem steeped in euphoria. Where “IRL” was an excursion into ghetto house, “Wut” is in half-time, drawing heavily on Girl Unit‘s Southern rap influences. Its booming low-slung kicks, monumental claps, 808 triplets, its rapturous organs and eponymous vocal cause dancefloor rapture. These are rap instrumentals reimagined as center-piece club trax that touch on a new intensity. “Every Time” is a triumphant, dramatically orchestral arrangement, which sees Girl Unit adopt his hovering synths to play horns, strings and a honky-tonk piano. Meanwhile “Showstoppa” is a rubust and more stripped down beat that seems almost to demand being vocaled.
