Frenchmen alexkid and rodriguez jnr, both respected producers in their own right, have collaborated on a new release for nrk, to be released early in 2010. rodriguez jr is also one half of the hugely successful the youngsters, who graced such leading labels as f communications, ovum, 2020 vision and soma recordings. meanwhile alexkid is no stranger to the world of electronic dance, having a well respected cv that includes recordings and remixes for f communications, rekids, get physical and luciano’s cadenza split composition label. alexkid also recently remixed spencer parker’s “you got me” for nrk. the duo collaborate on two tracks, “jeri call” and “le doight africain”, with the latter getting the remix treatment from rising stars bearweasel (aka dean mushin & louisa page). “jeri call” is a simple yet powerful tribal beats driven track that ushers in some haunting horn-like sounds, not for the faint hearted! at the other end of the spectrum, “le doight africain”is a delicate and minimal percussive moodpiece, with tropical vibes aplenty. bearweasel bulk up this cut on their remix, retaining the relaxed pace of the original, but with a more solid house beat and some playful programming.
