UPFRONTBEATS

After the recent success of his much anticipated album, Rodriguez Jr. and Mobilee bring us Baobab Remixes. Claude VonStroke, Audiofly and Tim Green have stepped up to produce three unique adaptations that flow explicitly and reinvent the album tracks.

Incorporating a delectable ‘huh’ and graceful piano, Claude VonStroke has excelled with his interpretation of An Evidence of Time. Animating the original with an emphatic bassline and unyielding timbres, whilst paying homage to the original with the mid-way breakdown. Audiofly have reconstructed Radian with their discernible sound. Their remix strips down the original, migrating through hypnotic synthesis, steadily building then fading to silence. Keeping the original kick a prominent feature, Tim Green’s rendition of the title track Baobab shines through. A hearty techno beat forms the basis of the minimalistic roller.

Dirtybird founder Claude VonStroke has had an incredible year with his longstanding label receiving Mixmag’s Label of the Decade award back in July. Aside from touring the globe, Audiofly recently claimed they were ‘exactly where we want to be as djs and performers’ when the duo made their debut appearance at Burning Man this year. Tim Green has taken time out from working on his brand new live set, which he will be showcasing around the world.
