UPFRONTBEATS

Shaun J. Wright & Alinka are back on their Twirl! Imprint this August with ‘Falling For You’, backed with remixes from Virginia and Matt Tolfrey.

Detroit-based Shaun J. Wright and Berlin-based Alinka both individually and as an duo have been kicking up a storm over the past few years with productions on the likes of The Classic Music Company, Crosstown Rebels, Jackathon Jams of course their own Twirl amongst shows at Berlin’s Berghain/Panorama Bar, Paris’ Concrete, Lisbon’s Lux Fragil and DC10 Ibiza amongst many more. 2018 is set to be yet another leap forward for the pair and here we se them returning with a fresh single for Twirl, their imprint birthed out of parties of the same name in Chicago where they met.

The original mix of ‘Falling For You’ leads with airy synth stabs, bumpy broken drums and heady arpeggio leads running alongside Shaun J. Wright’s unique, hooky vocal contributions, resulting in a tripped-out acid frenzy to open the package.

Osgut Ton’s Virginia steps up on remix duties next, delivery her silky smooth interpretation of the composition, which features classic house tropes like ethereal pads, organic percussion and the original’s infectious arp lead. Leftroom’s Matt Tolfrey then rounds out the package with his ‘EC1 Mix’ of ‘Falling For You’, opting for crunchy off-kilter rhythms and rumbling subs whilst weaving in snippets of Wright’s vocals and small chops for the melodic elements.
