The second instalment of remixes of Jamie Lloyd's debut album Trouble Within come courtesy of the excellent Drumpoet Community collective from Switzerland. The Drumpoet releases have been getting high rotation in the Future Classic offices since the beginning and its a pleasure to again make a new connection between our base in Sydney and another part of the world. The Soultourist boat is crewed by Philippe Wager (Thabo), Tobi (Foster), Ron Shiller, and Pascal Dubach (Big Clap), with the rowing done in shifts. The four met while DJing and hanging out at parties realizing that their cases were packed with nearly the same records and that they shared a common musical vision. Soultourist#s first 122 was released on the Sonar Kollektiv after which they have contributed releases to Swiss label Bit Boutique and now of course the newly founded Zuerich based Drumpoet Community label with their excellent Yeah! and Turn Loose EP's. The Soultourist remix of Jamie Lloyd's You Out or In? is all class, with the sort of immaculate production and clarity we'd expect from spending all that time at high altitude, or perhaps an Autumnal dip in Lake Zürich? The bass is tight, the drums crisp and there's musicality throughout (including some awesome keys) which we applaud!Quarion was moving from Zuerich to Berlin while doing this remix, and he thinks the results are revealing of this move, with a deephouse take on the nu-wave-of-rave he was enjoying during his first weeks in Berlin. A rewarding addition to the box or laptop of any DJ who enjoyed his excellent Karusu EP on Drumpoet.. or perhaps an introduction to someone new to keep an eye on!
