Dabrye - Air (fLako & Robot Koch Remix)

Almost forgot about this one (or how it ended up on my drive), but I'm glad I haven't. Thanks to MF Doom's distinct voice, Dabrye's original version from Two/Three has always been a favourite on the album.

The Kode9 remix managed to take the track into a different direction, and the track was still a bomb. That made me think if there's anything one could do to make this track sound bad (as in horrible). Though it should be possible, I find it quite hard to imagine!

So, it's probably all about giving it a unique twist, taking it in a new direction - kinda like Kode9 did. Berlin-based producers fLako and Robot Koch stay in hip-hop territory and still manage just to do just this. The outcome is a nice laid back version of Air. Have to play it on repeat a couple of times, as it only runs for a bit longer than 2 minutes!
