Hip hop and dance music seldom make easy bedfellows – but the sheer breadth of Ten Ven and Ripley's production seems to make it easy.
The duo paired up with flamboyant rapper Zebra Katz – of 'Ima Read' infamy – earlier this year.
Subtle, pared back production, Ten Ven and Riply seemed to blend house tones with techno flourishes, throwing in the odd reference to trap percussion along the way.
Gaining a full release on MTA Records, remixes come courtesy of Kove, Kirk Spencer, Dear David and Cause & Affect.
Clash is able to premiere the Cause & Affect remix. Focussing on the darkness of the original, there's a binary feeling here, the contradiction between euphoria / anger, electronic production / rap delivery.
Spare yet brutally effective, you can tune in below.
