DAVIE – Testify (Remixes)

In times of trouble and uncertainty music can provide great relief for the soul, and DAVIEs triumphant Defected debut Testify does exactly that. A joyous introduction to the Brooklyn artist, this 12 remix package demonstrates an ability to strike the balance between classic and contemporary sounds seamlessly. Now, the record DAVIE himself describes as, a dance song, not a gospel song, gets four brand new remixes. Up first on the A side, Peppermint Jam boss Mousse T. plays to the gospel elements of the original, with deep, powerful chords and rhythmic claps, bringing a snapping groove to the cut. Next, London talent KDA goes for a clubbier sound, looping the vocal and raising the BPM. On the flip, undisputed master of the disco edit Danny Krivit delivers his sublime club-friendly version, extending the original Danny maintains the feel, with subtle adjustments that give it a more refined sound. Finally, Alan Dixons funk-fuelled remix follows, with melodic keys and irresistible horns.
