Ukouk Remixes Pt. 2 Marewrew

This is the second round of remixes for the hypnotic folk music of the Ainu a cappella group Marewrew. ‘Ukouk Remixes Pt. 02’ is dedicated to Dub remixes, featuring Elijah Minnelli and Peter Presto on a 7" single.

Elijah Minnelli is a London-based producer of Dub music. He specialises in a fusion of folklore and dub, which he masterfully demonstrates on his latest release Perpetual Musket on the FatCat label. His remix of 'Uekap' is a deep, breathing take on Marewrew's mesmerising round singing vocals, dubbed in a live take through his mixing desk. The chopped vocals are skilfully mixed as if they were percussion instruments.

Pingipung founder Peter Presto remixes the same track 'Uekap' and paints it bright yellow with his own unmistakable dubby playfulness. His heart-warming B-side makes us flash back to the first ever Pingipung release by Mr. Presto back in 2002. The vocals sound merry, the groove is stumbling and slow, and the flute melody qualifies as a perfect stress antidote.

The digital package of this single (available separately) features additional remixes by Cloud Management, Contact Field Orchestra, and Andi Otto.
