System 7 - Positive Noise EP

imageTechno -
System 7 returns after a three year hiatus with the Positive Noise EP, backed up with remixes from Carl Craig and A. Mochi.




Positive Noise is the result of a collabo between System 7 and UK house honcho A Guy Called Gerald. The original mix opens with dark bass and moody fx, but soon moves to more uplifting Detroit-ish textures with a lot of diversity and elegenace. A perfect track for outdoor festivals. Carl Craig's remix is a stripped-down version with heavy bass work and rattling drums that lacks the magic from the original, while A. Mochi delivers a much heavier and colder rework in which especially the lengthy breakdown and climax stand out.

Our verdict:
A bit of an oddity, this one. The original mix is ace, Carl Craig's remix lets down, and A. Mochi's remix is okay, but not much more than that. Overall speaking, we expected more from this.
