808 State / Gat Decor – Pacific 212 / Passion (DFRNT Remixes)
LOSBUD-1211021 / LoDubs
The elusive LosBud imprint is back after almost four years, returning with two classic remakes of two equally timeless tunes of the the late 80s / early 90s nexus of modern electronica. Bass Music’s rewiring of house and garage in its contemporary form has managed to fuse to and reinvent many of the other genres around it, with results that often raise the question of what these original elements might sound like had their original creators been doing their pinnacle work in modern times. With this plate, DFRNT opens a window onto two of those possibilities, as his effortless yet ingenious treatment of each seems to fit so perfectly to the original frameworks. In doing so, he succeeds where many fall short, in respectfully manipulating a pair of classics into new forms that become strong candidates for direct alternatives to, and perhaps even advancements on the originals. Limited edition 12", packaged in a hand stamped black dubplate style sleeve.
bagged standardly! the percussion on that remix of passion is next level...
website says the sleeve wont like like the picture which is unfortunate cause it looks awesome on the site, can you tell us if the housing will have any artwork or just a plain black sleeve?
"There is a lot of tension in the music that carries a satisfactory darkness with it, but it's also lazy music. You don't have to dance hard to move with it. It was born with a reefer in it's gob."

Yeah thx! We've actually moved the release info text on to the labels themselves as pictured above. The sleeve is a dubplate style paper sleeve similar to other LoDubs releases, however in black. It features the DFRNT deer imagery hand stamped on front in blue.
totally sweet... cant wait for this to make its way across the country instead of across the atlantic for once haha
