Friske - Someone / Daydream (Mix 1) / Daydream (Mix 2) - Requisite Music - REQ008 - 12" vinyl
Friske comes off the back of a standout year for his personal label Requisite with no signs of easing up the pressure for 23. Three cuts of sunrays selections for warming bass bins and dancefloors
Opener “Someone” sees Friske expertly channeling the Jungle cannon by extracting key snare fills and rolls from Plastic Jam’s – Wicked Beat and reconstructing their swing with futurized 808 claps. Ethereal pads, distant voices and pulsing reese complete the halcyon skank out.
Two mixes of “Daydream” to choose from both pairing echoes of rare groove with drifting synth atmospheres and ear worming arpeggios. Both versions nod heavily to Bukem’s ambient intelligence with true connoisseurs recognizing the harder stepping drums of “Mix 1” gearing towards his Voodoo Magic sets whilst the subtler roll of “Mix 2” anchoring the head down sway of his Speed era.
