Holden (James Holden) - Renata (ft Daphni Remix) (Grey Marbled 10") - Border Community

Leading up to James Holden's long-awaited second album, Border Community offer the Holden obsessive with a remix 10" featuring new scores of "Renata" by Daphni and Steve Moore. Daphni's remix is executed in typically unpredictable fashion by the Caribou frontman Dan Snaith, as the melancholic and euphoric fervor of Holden's consuming original is calmed by a breathy vocal choral and scissor-cut salvos lifted from an early UK Garage style. Steve Moore's alternate version offers a tom drum melodic and dreamy ambient wash of hyper-colored synths that whiz and whirl to the point of ecstasy just before climax. An essential for Holden completists.
