Charles Bordeaux: Bloodpacts (Single, 2014)

Emerald & Doreen Records will name their new dog “Joy” or something. Up and coming music mag buffaloblog.com stated a „highly earpleasing outcome“. That was the last time. Last time Charles Bordeaux put out his Fables EP, this New York-State resident shocked musiclovers around the world with his lush and groovy candies. Now, the hit on Fables gets its well-deserved special treatment: Blood Pacts, now being resurrected by its second name Weeds. In there, a farmer meets a man who offers him land. The Farmer takes on more than he can handle, and buys unfarmable land, wasting money & time. Oh, would he rather appreciate what he already has! The drama of will and loss is told in the Bordeaux way, by means of an ultimately happy psychedelic soul music: heavenly choirs, chilled out beats. Emerald & Doreen-artist Copycat cuts a jacking bassline to the original and takes it to the freaky floors. Tronik Youth select icy bleeps and e-drums to let the piece jump up on high plateau soles. Chromatic Dream let a sub-bass wander through their majestic landscape, all shook in slow motion. OMFG Zombies speed the track up to a peak-time electro house stunt, while Mikael Fas lets the synthie bass sing like a fox. Finally, Deluce re-invents Weeds as a power drum fantasy. A well-deserved bouquet of interpretations of a stunning piece of music.
